In his first interview since leading 'death, death, death to the IDF' chants at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan frontman Bobby Vylan told The Louis Theroux Podcast he has no regrets and would repeat it. The fallout was swift: Glastonbury condemned the chant, UTA dropped the band, the U.S. State Department revoked visas, and a North American tour was canceled. The BBC said airing the set breached guidelines but was not incitement. Calling the backlash disproportionate, Vylan said it refocused attention on Gaza, denied encouraging antisemitism, suggested race fueled the furore, rebuked Damon Albarn, and praised Chuck D’s defense.
