David Gilmour says he has “forgiven” Keir Starmer for jailing son Charlie for attack on war memorial
David Gilmour has looked back at the time his son, Charlie, was jailed for an attack on a war memorial, and said that he has “forgiven” Keir Starmer for the arrest.It comes after Charlie was arrested and subsequently jailed for 16 months after admitting to violent disorder during a 2010 student protest against loan fees.During the demonstration, the then-21-year-old was seen hanging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph, as well as leaping onto the bonnet of a Jaguar that formed part of a royal convoy and hurling a rubbish bin at the vehicle.At the court hearing, the jury heard that the student had drunk and taken drugs after being rejected by his biological father – writer Heathcote Williams – and had taken LSD and valium in the hours leading up to the violence.He was released from his 16-month sentence after serving four months, and his appeal judges heard that he had “successfully reformed and rehabilitated himself”, as well as had addressed the “underlying drug and alcohol problems”.Since then, Charlie – who is the biological son of Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson – has gone on to become an esteemed writer, and has had his work featured in outlets including The Evening Standard, Vogue, The Guardian, The Sunday Times and more.In 2020, he made his literary debut with the memoir Featherhood. It was described by Vogue Italia as “a story about fathers and an exploration of masculinity’s limited emotional palette.”“It is also a splendid account of what it means to care for another being, human or otherwise, where different worlds collide and intersect in a whirlwind of uncanny coincidences,” it continued.

Disturbed’s David Draiman calls Roger Waters a “monster” and an “anti-Semitic to his rotten core”
Disturbed frontman David Draiman has lashed out at Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, describing him as “anti-Semitic to his rotten core”.The singer, who is Jewish, shared his opinion of the rock veteran during a new interview with Linda Advocate, in which he looked back at the considerable accusations of anti-Semitism Waters has faced over recent years.The Pink Floyd icon has made headlines countless times in the past for his often-unfiltered political opinions – namely his criticism of the State of Israel.One particular example took place back in February, when he criticised Bono, describing him as “disgusting” and “a shit”, following the U2 frontman using his Sphere residency shows to pay respect to those killed during the October 7 attack at the Israeli music festival Supernova.A separate time saw him accuse Israel of “abusing the term anti-Semitism to intimidate people like me into silence”, and back in November he speculated that the “fishy” attacks perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 could have been a “false flag operation”.He has repeatedly denied all accusations of anti-Semitism and explained that his disdain is towards Israel, not Judaism.Now, Draiman – who has been vocal about his feelings towards Waters in the past – has once again addressed the accusations surrounding the musician and described him as a “monster”.“He’s a piece of work, that deluded old freak,” he began. Draiman continued: “Antisemitic to his rotten core.
