The rap punk duo Bob Vylan’s performance on Saturday has sparked outrage among the Glasgowtown organizers, who have since remained silent.

Rap punk duo Bob Vylan’s rapper Bobby Vylan sung the chants “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF” during their performance on Saturday. Their performance came just before the controversial Irish group Kneecaps, when a member of the rap trio suggested fans “start a riot” outside his bandmate’s upcoming court appearance.

There is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech, or incitement to violence, according to festival bosses, according to a statement released by festival organizers. “Their chants very much crossed a line,” the statement said.

The Labour MP warned that both Glastonbury and the BBC had “questions to answer” following the chants that Health Secretary Wes Streeting and the Israeli embassy blasted this morning. It was then described as a “pretty shameless publicity stunt.”

He told Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, “I thought it was appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have some questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens.”

“But I also believe it to be a pretty shameless publicity stunt, and for that reason, I don’t really want to indulge too much.”

He claimed that the humanitarian crisis and the fact that Israeli settlers attacked a Christian village this week should be the subject of conversation in Israel and Gaza.

All life is precious, he continued, “whether it’s a Palestinian or an Israeli, whether it’s a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim, because we saw that chant at a music festival, when there were Israelis who were murdered, kidnapped, raped, or in some cases still held captive.”

All life is sacred, they say. And I find it quite revolting that there is a state in this conflict where you can cheer on either side like a football team.

He responded, “The broadcaster has questions to answer, but I do not know what the editorial and operational challenges” are of taking such action,” when asked whether the BBC should have cut the live feed.

The Israeli embassy, however, stated that the events on Saturday had “deeply disturbed” it.

Videos of the incident, which were posted online, show a member of Bob Vylan yelling the phrase to the crowd, and police are looking into the incident.

Before Irish band Kneecap, whose member Mo Chara recently filed for a criminal record after allegedly waving a Hezbolla flag on stage during a performance.

The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom is deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful language being used at the Glastonbury Festival, according to a statement from the embassy.

When such slogans are delivered before tens of thousands of festivalgoers and met with applause, they continued to say that they “advocate for the destruction of the State of Israel.”

Rod Stewart will play the Sunday “legends” slot at Glastonbury this Sunday, the Maggie May hitmaker recently revealing his concerns prior to the performance.

Iconic singer Sir Rod Stewart has candidly expressed his distaste for one particular aspect of his highly anticipated performance at Glastonbury, while also revealing a specific request he’s made.

In a special Glastonbury edition of the BBC Sidetracked podcast with Annie Macmanus and Nick Grimshaw, the ‘Maggie May’ singer discussed his upcoming gig on the festival’s renowned Pyramid Stage.

Rod will be appearing on the Sunday “legends” slot at Worthy Farm, emulating music legends like Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Kylie Minogue, having previously performed on the stage in 2002 with Coldplay and Stereophonics.

When asked what he thought of being labeled a “legend,” Rod responded that he was comfortable with the term and that he “don’t mind.” I believe I merit it, after all. I just wish the time wasn’t called the “teatime slot.”

Before the musician himself called the label “horrible,” Rod continued to explain why he wasn’t a fan of the traditional name for his performance time, which Annie acknowledged sounded “old.”

Rod explained how he was preparing for the show, saying, “We’re working on the set list, but not too hard. Although it’s not Glastonbury, I want to try and treat it like any other game, you know.

He further made it clear that he wanted to go on stage longer because he only had an hour and fifteen songs, and that he wanted an extra hour and a half. You’re aware that this will undoubtedly be my last time doing it.

Rod says he’ll drink a few glasses before his Glastonbury performance to stop the thirst. He said he wants it to be memorable, but he’ll just go in, have a few drinks, and enjoy himself like I’ve always done it all my life instead.

Meanwhile, Rod’s wife Penny Lancaster has spoken candidly about her concerns for her husband, admitting that recent losses in his family have led him to reflect on his own life and consider how long he’s got left. However, the famous singer continues to keep her on her toes.

Penny responded to a question on the “We’re Not Getting Any Younger” podcast about whether Rod still made her feel young, saying, “He does, he does.”

She also pondered, “You know when you’re 80, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’ve got to be 80, and he’s wondering to himself, he’s lost his two brothers, maybe, How long have I got?” ‘”.

Orlando Bloom donned an eye-catching outfit to the wedding of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos, giving the impression that he had left his recent breakup with Katy Perry behind him.

Orlando Bloom appeared care-free as he jetted off to Venice to enjoy the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. But it was only a few days ago that it was confirmed the 48-year old actor had split with Katy Perry following their nine year relationship.

As he relaxed and reclined on a speedboat that was cruising along the Venice Canal, the father of one was pictured wearing a black and white polka-dot pyjama set that matched his pyjama suit.

Orlando finished his look by wearing a black vest top and jewelry around his neck, with the top unbuttoned.

The actor known for his role in Pirates of the Caribbean was seen taking a leisurely stroll with Sydney Sweeney and Tom Brady earlier that day.

The day before Orlando attended the nuptials of Jeff and Lauren on his own as Katy fulfilled her tour commitments.

And according to US Weekly, a source close to the pair, who also has a daughter, claimed the couple broke up peacefully.

Although Katie and Orlando have split, the source told the publication. At the moment, it’s not contentious. Katy is obviously upset, but she is relieved that she didn’t have to go through another divorce because that was her worst experience.

The source continued that the singer’s nine-year relationship had been in the makings because they had been living essentially apart since he had been on tour.

The insider explained that their relationship has been “tense for months” and that they have been “living apart” since Katy has been touring.

The couple started dating again in 2016 while attending the Golden Globes, but they broke up afterward.

We can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time, according to a joint statement that was released at the time.

However, Katy’s tweet was much more direct, writing, “HOW BOUT A NEW THINKING FOR 201? ” You can still be friends with and/or love your former partners! No one is a victim or a villain, so “get a life, y’all”!

By the time the couple was settled, Orlando had already proposed wearing a diamond engagement ring.

The pair posted a zoomed-in photo of themselves holding the ring in perfect focus to let fans know about the news.

Heidi, Heidi’s 18-year-old daughter, talks fame and what it was like growing up with her famous mother in her first interview.

Kerry Katona’s daughter broke down in tears as she recalled a chilling childhood memory of her stepdad hitting her mum.

Heidi Katona was just a child when her third husband, former rugby player George Kay, tragically passed away in a drugs overdose in 2019 at the age of 39 after “eating cocaine” at a hotel.

The now 18-year-old, who claims her biological father, Mark Croft, is Kerry’s second husband, a cab driver, and drug dealer, opened up about growing up and admitted: “I saw things as I should not have seen.”

The teen claimed she witnessed George brutally assault her mother, who is the father of Dylan-Jorge, Kerry’s 11-year-old daughter, DJ. He once threatened to kill DJ by injecting her with heroin.

Heidi, who wants to follow in her mum Kerry’s footsteps and be famous, now has mixed feelings about the man she called dad. In her first ever interview, she told The Sun: “I am grieving for him. But I also saw my dad hitting my mum.

She was unaware of what I saw at the time. It affects who I am at the moment. I should not have seen things when I was younger. I went to a therapist, but I don’t understand why. I make an effort to be resilient. Like my mother, I use humor to cover up situations, but it’s not always simple.

The 44-year-old Atomic Kitten star has gained notoriety for both her career and personal life over the years. She and her first husband, Westlife star Brian McFadden, are the mother of five with three children: Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22.

Heidi, 18, and her brother, age 17, were both born while Mark Croft, her second husband, was still alive. Heidi, who suggested her real father wasn’t a part of her life any longer, paid tribute to her mother on father’s day earlier this month and shared the photo on social media as “The woman who did both jobs @kerrykatona7 Happy Father’s Day.” DJ, 11, is Kerry’s youngest child, and her father, George Kay, her late third husband, is her.

Over her 25-year career Kerry – who grew up in foster care – has been a singer and reality TV star and been declared bankrupt twice. But she is now a self-made millionaire again after joining adults only site OnlyFans – and Heidi revealed she got her kids approval before signing up to the platform during lockdown.

Before explaining what the site was, she explained how mum Kerry sat them all down and said, “I want to do OnlyFans, tell me if you have a problem with that.” She claimed that Lockdown meant that all of her other work had ended. She should do it because she is a mature woman who makes her own decisions, we all agreed.

She made money from her earnings to purchase all of our Airpods. I thought, “This is fantastic.” There is no significant difference between her previous attempts at glamour and those of which she has been pictured with her boobs out. She then takes control of her sexuality and profits from it.

We weren’t aware that she was having money problems at the time. Over the years, she has kept a lot of secrets from us.

Her mother, who works for OnlyFans, now lives in a five-bedroom home in Cheshire and drives a Lamborghini, which Kerry acknowledges she’s made a lot of money selling foot fetish photos.

But though she has fame in her sights, Heidi insists she wants to be a lawyer or a property developer – and says she would never do Love Island as she doesn’t want her mum to see her kissing on TV.

A boy was attacked by a shark at Cabarita Beach on Sunday, and he is now receiving serious arm injuries in the hospital.

A suspected Great White shark bit a teenage boy after he was bitten by it at a beach in New South Wales, which TV hosts Ant and Dec frequent.

After the attack, Australian emergency services were called to Cabarita Beach, between Tweed Heads and Byron Bay, at 3.50pm on Sunday.

Surfers and two off-duty paramedics rushed to the boy’s aid, reportedly using a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter airlifted the teen to Gold Coast University Hospital with “serious but stable” injuries to his arms and hands.

ITV hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, have regularly been spotted enjoying downtime at Cabarita Beach in Australia during the filming of ” I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”.

They were photographed enjoying lunch together at a nearby cafe, as well as regularly swimming at the beach with their families.

Shark fatalities are uncommon in NSW, Australia, but it’s thought there have been three since 2021.

A 17-year-old girl was killed by a shark while swimming at a well-known tourist destination on Bribie Island, north of Brisbane, just weeks prior to the recent attack.

Charlize Zmuda, the victim of life-threatening upper body injuries, was treated immediately at the scene by emergency personnel. She later passed away tragically.

After the incident, her devastated family decided to concentrate on the “incredible life she lived and not the awful way she died.”

In a statement, they stated that Charlotte was a “brilliant light who truly touched the lives of everyone she met.”

At the time of the scenes’ devastation, local Chris Potter said to the Courier Mail: “People initially believed she had just been caught in a rip.”

It shocked me, I must say.
