RAP duo Bob Vylan have had their US visas revoked following their performance at Glastonbury.
It comes after Bobby Vylan, one half of the group, chanted "death, death to the IDF” along with "free, free Palestine" during the pair’s Glastonbury performance on Saturday.
The BBC made the decision to broadcast the Bobby Vylan set live instead of Irish rap trio Kneecap, which was only shown on iPlayer after the set had finished.
The comments made by Bobby Vylan have sparked a police investigation, as well as receiving condemnation from festival organisers, the BBC and Keir Starmer.
The BBC issued a further statement on Monday, where the broadcaster said the chants were "antisemitic" and that in "hindsight" it should have pulled the stream during the performance.
A few hours later, it was confirmed that the duo had had their US visas revoked ahead of a tour taking place later in the year.
US deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau said the decision was due to "their hateful tirade at Glastonbury".
Responding to the criticism, Bobby Vylan shared in a statement on Sunday evening that he stood by his comments during the set, as he said: "I said what I said".
“As we grow older and our fire possibly starts to dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us," he wrote on Instagram.
“Let us display to them loudly and visibly the right thing to do when we want and need change. Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered."
