Pop duo Pet Shop Boys canceled their tours in Russia because of the full-scale war in Ukraine. Thus, the musicians expressed their solidarity with the Ukrainian people
Pet Shop Boys are waiting for the overthrow of the Putin regime
In vain, Putin’s authorities in the Russian Federation create lists of “undesirable artists” who are banned from entering the aggressor country. After all, no one is eager to go to the Russians because their soldiers have invaded the territory of the sovereign state of Ukraine and are committing horrific crimes.
The British duo Pet Shop Boys posted on Instagram a photo of a concert poster in Russia, saying that their arrival is canceled as long as the dictator is in power.
The musicians explained that in 2009 they started the Pandemonium world tour in St. Petersburg. The artists also remembered that they visited the Russian Federation many times and wrote songs on the Russian theme, inspired by this country.
Now it is unacceptable to go there or give concerts. But we look forward to the day when fascism falls in Russia, criminal politicians are convicted, the truth will be heard, and neighboring countries will not be threatened and invaded. And a new Russia will be born. Hopefully we’ll still be around to see this,” the Pet Shop Boys said in a post.
Briefly about Pet Shop Boys

Not surprisingly, the Pet Shop Boys are listed in the Guinness Book of Records in 2008 as the musical artists with the most singles in the UK Top 40 hit parade.
Recall back in March, the winners of Eurovision 2022, the Italian band Maneskin canceled concerts in Russia. The musicians also expressed words of support to the Ukrainians.
