In February, Khlyvnyuk left the rock group to fight in Ukraine against Russia while BoomBox was touring the US. <\/p>\n<p>Gilmour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cae5TydPAxh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saw an Instagram video<\/a> of the musician in military gear singing a protest song in Kyiv\u2019s Sofiyskaya Square and then felt inspired to do something about it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought: that is pretty magical and maybe I can do something with this,\u201d Gilmour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2022\/apr\/07\/pink-floyd-reform-to-support-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told the Guardian<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve got a big platform that [Pink Floyd] have worked on for all these years. It\u2019s a really difficult and frustrating thing to see this extraordinarily crazy, unjust attack by a major power on an independent, peaceful, democratic nation. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">1\/3 Tonight at midnight, Pink Floyd will release a new song, &#8216;Hey Hey Rise Up&#8217;, which sees David Gilmour and Nick Mason joined by Guy Pratt &#038; Nitin Sawhney, with an extraordinary vocal by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Ukrainian band Boombox.<br \/>Listen\/download at <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i1l92D3AYU\">https:\/\/t.co\/i1l92D3AYU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Pink Floyd (@pinkfloyd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pinkfloyd\/status\/1512088273157455873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe frustration of seeing that and thinking \u2018what the f\u2013k can I do?\u2019 is sort of unbearable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So Gilmour, who has a Ukrainian daughter-in-law and grandchildren that are half-Ukrainian, took that frustration out and made something productive out of it. <\/p>\n<p>The group got together and recorded the song and a music video, which features Mason playing on drums that have a painting from Ukrainian artist Maria Primachenko. Waters, who left the group in 1985, reportedly did not return for the reunion. However, the song features Khlyvnyuk\u2019s voice from the video that inspired Gilmour to begin with. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/pink-floyd-ukraine-2.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Pink Floyd\u2019s David Gilmour performs onstage in 2016. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gilmour did reach out to Khlyvnyu, who was hospitalized for an injury in the conflict. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next time I saw him, he was in hospital, having been injured by a mortar,\u201d Gilmour said to the Guardian. \u201cHe showed me this tiny quarter-inch piece of shrapnel that had embedded itself in his cheek.
