Many of music's biggest stars have spoken out about Floyd's death.

The music industry is to observe a day-long"blackout" on Tuesday, in response to George Floyd's death last week.

Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, died last week after a white police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes. "It's extremely painful because it keeps going on. It continues to go on and it's like, 'What can we do? Or what do we need to do to make this thing stop?'" "We were peaceful, hands up, not moving, not breaching the line," she captioned a photograph of police in protective gear.

"As gatekeepers of the culture, it's our responsibility to not only come together to celebrate the wins, but also hold each other up during loss," reads the statement, which circulated under the hashtag #TheShowMustBePaused.
