Bob Vylan Rapper Claims BBC Staff Hailed "Fantastic" Glastonbury

Bobby Vylan, frontman for rap punk band Bob Vylan , has claimed that BBC staff congratulated him on his controversial Glastonbury Festival performance soon after he left the stage.

Bob Vylan sparked fury after chanting “death to the IDF” during their West Holts stage set in June, with the BBC later apologizing for streaming the performance live on iPlayer.

Appearing on The Louis Theroux Podcast , Bobby Vylan said he did not regret the Glastonbury chant and alleged that he was hailed by BBC employees. The BBC declined to comment on the allegation.

“It wasn’t like we came off stage, and everybody was like [he gasps]. It’s just normal. We come off stage. It’s normal,” Vylan said. “Nobody thought anything. Nobody. Even staff at the BBC were like, ‘That was fantastic! We loved that!’
