“Our musicians wear body armour instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals, even those who can’t hear them. We defend our freedom to live, love, and sound. On our land, we are fighting Russia, which brings horrible silence with its bombs. Fill the silence with your music; fill it today to tell our story. Tell the truth about this war on your social networks, on TV. Support us in any way you can, but not with silence,” he said in his Grammy message.
