Following his contentious Saturday performance at Glastonbury, Bobby Vylan took to social media to post a defiant response. Before Kneecap’s set, Bob Vylan’s performance was taken off BBC’s iPlayer.
And then Bobby took to Instagram to defiantly declare, “I said what I said. And he followed up with a lengthy statement.
He wrote, “I listen to my daughter typing out loud as she fills out a school survey asking for her opinion on the current state of school dinners as I lay in bed this morning, my phone buzzing nonstop, inundated with messages of both support and hatred.”
She stated that she would like more choices, healthier food, and dishes that were inspired by other cultures. We may not be doomed after all, but listening to her voice her thoughts on a subject that she cares about and affects every day reminds me.
The only way to improve the world is to teach our children to speak up for the change they want and need, he added.
It is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to carry the torch that was passed to us as we get older and our fire may start to dwindle as a result of the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities.
He continued to say that it is crucial to “display to them the right thing clearly and loudly.” Let them witness our marching in the streets, organizing online, and yelling about it on any and every stage that we are given, the musician added.
And he said, “We’re having a change in tomorrow’s school dinners, and tomorrow we’re having a change in foreign policy.”
The BBC made a statement explaining its decision to postpone the Bob Vylan set. According to the organization, “some of the comments made during Bob Vylan’s set were incredibly offensive.
A warning was posted on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language used during this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage. No changes have been made to the schedule to make the performance available.
Bobby Vylan sung the chants “Death, death to the IDF” to crowds at the festival’s West Holts Stage.
Many viewers were offended by the footage because Health Secretary Wes Streeting labelled it “appalling” and the scenes had initially aired live on BBC iPlayer.
Avon and Somerset Police later stated in a post on social media that “we are aware of the comments made by acts at the Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. Officers will evaluate video evidence to determine whether any crimes might have led to a criminal investigation.
As police viewed videos of comments made by Kneecap and Bob Vylan, the statement was made.
