Roger Waters has released "Comfortably Numb Re-Imagined", a reworking of Pink Floyd's 1979 track from 'The Wall', created with Palestinian singer Mona Miari as a tribute to the Palestinian people. Speaking to WIRED about the release, Waters said he hopes the song will be seen as "prophetic" in years to come, insisting "there is a right and a wrong… this song is on the right side of history", while also directly rejecting long-standing accusations that he is anti-Semitic, saying he "never did and never will" hold such views.

The nine-minute piece changes the original refrain "I have become comfortably numb" to "I will never become comfortably numb", adds English and Arabic lyrics, and includes footage filmed in Gaza alongside a new section by Miari titled "Hind's Lullaby", named after six-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed in Gaza in January 2024. Proceeds will go to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. The article also recaps years of controversy around Waters's pro-Palestinian activism, including a 2013 inflatable pig bearing a Star of David, a 2023 Nazi-style uniform he wore on stage (investigated by Berlin police), public criticism from Polly Samson and David Gilmour, and a Campaign Against Antisemitism documentary he has dismissed as "propaganda".
