“It’s good that we’re not going to be retroactive here, because practically all artists would be canceled.

“I have one thing about whom I would cancel: JK Rowling. Give her some preparation H for this transphobia,” he added, referring to the “Harry Potter” author’s controversial comments about the transgender community.

Waters continues, “What’s wrong with her? There are people I like to cancel, but at the same time I say it humorously.

He added, “I do not go through every person who has been fired and say what I think, but I have never seen Johnny Depp negatively in my entire life for acting like a woman – and I did drugs and drank with him.”

Depp lost his embarrassing case against the UK newspaper Sun in 2020 after being described in an article as a “woman beater”. The actor’s ex-wife Amber Heard has repeatedly accused him of abuse, something he denies.
