Hoy, el Reino Unido está inmerso en un histórico referendum que decidirá si Gran Bretaña deja o no la Unión Europea. Mientras que la votación por el Brexit se está llevando a cabo con total normalidad, músicos y figuras opinaron sobre este suceso que puede alterar dramáticamente la industria musical (entre otros planso). La tendencia casi totalitaria de los músicos es para que Gran Bretaña se quede dentro de la UE.
Noel Gallagher dijo ayer que no sabía si iba a ir a votar: “Voy a decidirlo en la mañana. Capaz estoy ocupado”. En diálogo con la CBC, Gallagher comentó que prefiere dejar esas decisiones a los políticos que “no nos preguntaron ni mierda si queríamos ir a la guerra, ¿no?”
Otros fueron más claros en sus posturas. Compartimos mensajes públicos de Johnny Marr, Brian Eno, Portishead, Four Tet, Disclosure, Blood Orange, y más:
