Pink Floyd has decided to remove its entire music catalog — 35 years worth — from digital music services in Russia and Belarus to boycott the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The band tweeted the news Friday, writing: “To stand with the world in strongly condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the works of Pink Floyd, from 1987 onwards, and all of David Gilmour’s solo recordings are being removed from all digital music providers in Russia and Belarus from today.”

According to Bloomberg, Pink Floyd’s co-founder Roger Waters, who left the band in 1985, has also denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin and his decision to invade Ukraine.
