Israeli rocker Aviv Geffen, currently on his own U.S. tour, was escorted out of a David Gilmour concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles after he held up a sign calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
The Israeli singer, who was once a prominent voice of the peace movement, says he created a sign reading "Wish they were here" in a nod to the classic Pink Floyd song. 1 View gallery Aviv Geffen with the sign ( Photo: Screenshot ) "I held up the sign for the hostages. The police asked me why I was holding it up, and I explained that I'm from Israel and it’s for the hostages," Geffen said.
"They asked me to put it down, and I refused." Geffen says he was then escorted outside the venue, where he was briefly detained and released a short time later. The Los Angeles Police Department has yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
