Roger Waters to perform with veterans at charity event

Posted November 3, 2012 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters will perform at the 6th annual Stand Up for Heroes event, Thursday, Nov. 8, at New York’s Beacon Theatre.

The event, presented by the New York Comedy Festival and The Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF), supports injured service members and their caregivers.

Waters will perform with a band comprised entirely of military veterans. Other acts scheduled to perform include Mike Birbiglia, Ricky Gervais, Patton Oswalt, Jon Stewart, Bruce Springsteen and Robin Williams.

The event is sold out, but musical performances will be streamed live at YouTube and made available at the BWF’s reMIND website.

The five previous events have raised more than $10 million to support wounded veterans and their families.
