Roger Waters inspects the apartheid wall in the West Bank.
Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters says he would perform a concert in a flash the moment Israel's apartheid wall is torn down.

Waters made the remarks on Tuesday as he was visiting the Ayda Refugee Camp in the West Bank in the shadows of the towering concrete structure, which snakes around the occupied homeland of the Palestinians.

Waters said he hopes "this thing, this awful thing, is destroyed soon".

The wall is "an obscenity for other people in the world. It looks okay to Jews here and maybe in other places where they live, but people around the world see it as a weird way to live," the Jerusalem Post quoted him as saying.

He stated that the instant the illegal apartheid wall is torn down, he will perform a concert at the site, similar to his performance at the site of the Berlin Wall in 1990, shortly after it came down.

The 65-year-old bassist and singer co-wrote Pink Floyd's iconic album “The Wall” and performed its title song at the 1990 Berlin concert.
