Bob Vylan's defiant statement in full as rapper breaks silence after Glastonbury outrage

Musician Bobby Vylan has broken his silence with a defiant response following his controversial Glastonbury set on Saturday.

Rapper Bobby, of punk duo Bob Vylan, this weekend led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: "Free, free Palestine" and: "Death, death to the IDF". Police are continuing to examine videos of the comments he made on stage, and what happened during Kneecap's set.

Days later, fans are now rushing home to have a steaming hot shower and sleep in their own comfortable beds as they abandoned their tents at Worthy Farm.

Olivia Rodrigo bought the festival to a close on Sunday night with her epic performance on the Pyramid Stage while The Prodigy performed on the Other Stage. Jorja Smith sang to fans on Woodsies and The Maccabees were at The Park Stage.
