More than 200 prominent musicians add their voices to calls for Andy Burnham to oppose the Rosebank oil field development. An open letter to the UK Prime Minister urges the government to “Stop Rosebank,” with a decision expected soon.
The signatories include veteran artist Brian Eno and other high-profile acts such as Thom Yorke, Massive Attack’s members, and Robert Smith. The Scotsman reports that 211 artists sign the letter, while NME describes the campaign as backed by more than 200 musicians. Across the coverage, the central concern is the project’s climate impact, given that Rosebank is described as the UK’s largest untapped oil field.
Outlets differ mainly in the emphasis and phrasing around who is involved and how the pressure is framed, but both report a coordinated celebrity-led effort aimed at influencing the government’s upcoming decision on the Rosebank plan.
