During the Glastonbury performance, which is aired annually on BBC, one of the group’s members, Bobby Vylan, led the crowd to chant, “Death to the IDF,” referring to the Israel Defense Forces, to the shock of organizers and onlookers.

English punk band Bob Vylan defended their onstage comments during Glastonbury, which called for "death to the IDF."

The BBC apologized as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticized the state broadcaster for airing a punk duo live. The group’s visa to tour the U.S. was canceled.
