The US State Department revoked the visas of British rap punk duo Bob Vylan, barring them from a US tour. This follows their Glastonbury performance where they led chants deemed to promote violence against Israeli forces, including "death to the IDF." The State Department cited "hateful tirade" and condemned glorifying violence. A Somerset Police investigation into potential hate crime violations is underway, fueled by significant public response. Bob Vylan has not directly addressed the controversy.
