Bob Vylan Dropped By Agent UTA After Glastonbury Scandal (Exclusive)
EXCLUSIVE: UTA moved quickly to drop Bob Vylan, the punk duo in the heart of a United Kingdom scandal for their performance in the Glastonbury Festival.
The deadline includes that UTA leaders have made the call during the weekend to separate from Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan after having evaluated what was said on stage.
Vylan’s Vylan set made newspapers on the front page in the United Kingdom after Bobby Vylan sang “Death to the IDF” and complained to work for an “F *** Ing Sionist”.
Vylan also flattered the controversial slogan, “from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, free”, during the West Holts stage set, broadcast live on the BBC.
The initiates of UTA would have shared the feelings of the organizers of Glastonbury, who said that Vylan had survived the brand with his comments on stage. UTA refused to comment, but the group’s page was cleaned on the agency’s website.
In a statement, the chief of Glastonbury, Emily Eavis, said: “We are dismayed by the declarations made from the West Holts scene by Bob Vylan yesterday. Their songs have crossed a line a lot and we are urgently recalled all the people involved in the production of the festival that there is no room in Glastonbury for anti -Semitism, the speech of hatred or the incentive to violence. “

In an Instagram statement, Bobby Vylan said his phone “built up” with messages of “support and hatred” after performance. He seemed to support what was said on stage, writing that it was important to teach children to campaign for the “good thing”.
In a subtitled message: “I said what I said,” continued Vylan: “Let them see us walking in the streets, campaign at ground level, organize themselves online and cry about it at each stage that is offered to us.”
The BBC was also criticized, notably Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for the broadcast of Bob Vylan on Iplayer. In a statement on Monday, the British broadcaster said that he regretted the decision to wear the Lastonbury set live.
“The BBC respects freedom of expression but firmly applies to the incentive to violence. The anti -Semitic feelings expressed by Bob Vylan were completely unacceptable and have no place on our waves,” the BBC said in a statement.
The BBC continued by saying that “the team was dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight, we should have drawn the flow during the performance”, adding: “We regret that this did not happen.”
Bob Vylan has slipped the net in the middle of the BBC laser concentration on a different act, Knecap. The Irish hip-hop trio, which played shortly after Bob Vylan on the same scene, was not shown live on the fears of hatred speeches, but it was Bob Vylan who ended up provoking the most controversy. Some even called the BBC patterns to continue the Vylan’s remarks.
