Music industry organises a silent Black Out Tuesday to join George Floyd protests

LOS ANGELES - The music industry is coming together, holding a day to reflect and implement change in response to the death of George Floyd and police brutality, particularly against unarmed black citizens in the United States.

Columbia Records, in an Instagram post on June 1, said:"[Black Out Tuesday] is not a day off. Instead, this is a day to reflect and figure out ways to move forward in solidarity." In addition to joining Black out Tuesday, Interscope Geffen A&M , owned by Universal Music Group, has said they will not be releasing any music this week.

In a statement on their website, IGA said that instead of releasing music, that they would"contribute to organisations that help to bail out protesters exercising their right to peaceably assemble."
