The Pink Floyd founder was scheduled to play a rally supporting the WikiLeaks founder to prevent his extradition to the U.S.

"The ruling class, the powers that be... the corporate world, the rich people, the people who run everything, the people who tell [U.K. Prime Minister] Boris Johnson and Donald Trump what to do," he said of those who were responsible."I'm not suggesting there are men in hoods and secret societies but we all see what's happening."

Assange is currently imprisoned in Her Majesty's Prison Belmarsh. In May 2019, he was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison in the U.K. for breaching the Bail Act. In the U.S., he was indicted on computer intrusion charges relating to leaks. Weeks later, the U.S. government also charged the WikiLeaks founder with violating the Espionage Act of 1917.
