Musicians Bob Vylan have gig cancelled following backlash over Charlie Kirk comments

Music duo Bob Vylan have had their upcoming gig cancelled following comments made about political activist Charlie Kirk's death.

The pair never shy away from controversy, as they are still under investigation by police after their performance at Glastonbury this summer.

They were heard saying 'free, free Palestine' and then 'death, death to the IDF', in comments which were described as 'deeply offensive' by the BBC, which did not make the performance available on iPlayer.

Glastonbury also released a statement about the situation, saying the musical act 'crossed a line' which left the organisers 'appalled'.

Now, the punk rap duo's upcoming gig at the 013 venue in Tilburg, the Netherlands, has been called off due to recent comments at a show about the death of Charlie Kirk.

Frontman Bobby Vylan was speaking at the act's show taking place at Amsterdam’s Club Paradiso on Saturday when he could be heard saying some strong words when speaking about the right-wing political activist.

Speaking to a cheering crowd, he said: “I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of s**t of a human being.

“The pronouns was/were. ‘Cause if you chat s**t, you will get banged. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, you piece of s**t.”

Kirk was killed after a single bullet was shot at his neck during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University last week, with over 3,000 in attendance.

The 31-year-old was rushed to hospital by his security team, though he passed away as President Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social in an emotional message to his ally.

After speaking at the gig, Bobby Vylan jokingly asked if there were 'any snipers in the room' before his comments, which he said beneath a Palestinian flag displayed on stage.

Following a strong backlash, he was then forced to release a statement on Instagram, saying: “At no point during yesterday’s show was Charlie Kirk’s death celebrated.”

“At no point whatsoever did we celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death,” he added, though he acknowledged that he called him 'a piece of s**t' but said that people simply need to 'calm down'.

“If it was, go find me a quote, go find me something that proves we were celebrating his death. You’re not going to find it because it didn’t happen,” he said online.

Following the gig, Club Paradiso issued a statement which defended Vylan's comments.

“Paradiso believes in the power of artistic freedom. Music, and punk in particular, has traditionally been a form of art that amplifies anger, discontent, and injustice without filter,” they said in a statement to Rolling Stone.

The 013 has also released a statement since the Amsterdam gig, saying: "While we understand that these statements were made in the context of punk and activism, and that the reporting on them is sometimes less nuanced than what actually happened, we still believe these new statements go too far.

"They no longer fall within the scope of what we can offer a platform."

They added that they were initially ready to let them perform despite the Glastonbury performance.
