Roger Waters under investigation for Nazi-style costume worn during concert.

Berlin police are investigating Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters over a Nazi-style costume he wore during a recent concert in the German capital. Waters is being investigated on suspicion of "incitement of the people." The costume was "deemed capable of violating the dignity of the victims, as well as approving, glorifying or justifying the violent and arbitrary rule of the Nazi regime in a way that disrupts public peace," a police spokesperson said. Waters has worn the costume at other shows, including one in Madrid, and similar costumes were featured in the 1982 movie "Pink Floyd: The Wall."
