How (Members of) Pink Floyd Reunited to Record a Song for Ukraine

Rock legends Pink Floyd have composed a charity single to support humanitarian relief for Ukraine — the band’s first new original music since 1994’s “Division Bell.”
The track, “Hey Hey Rise Up,” features 90 seconds of David Gilmour’s string-bending solo, and Floyd drummer Nick Mason. It was inspired by a Ukrainian singer who has taken up arms to defend his country.
