Sharon Osbourne Wants This Band's Visa Revoked After They Got Political At Coachella
HuffPost
The wife of Ozzy Osbourne said music should not be "a stage for political discourse."
Sharon Osbourne is calling for support in urging U.S. authorities to revoke Irish rap group Kneecap’s work visa after they denounced Israel during their performance at Coachella, claiming music should not be political.
Osbourne took to X stating that Kneecap “took their performance to a different level by incorporating aggressive political statements,” which she said “included projections of anti-Israel messages and hate speech, and this band openly support terrorist organizations.”
Representatives for Kneecap told The Independent, “[Our] statements aren’t aggressive. Murdering 20,000 children is, though. Or executing 15 medics and burying them and their ambulances.”
According to reports by BBC News, Kneecap member Mo Chara said, “The Palestinians have nowhere to go,” as the band led the audience in a “free, free Palestine” chant. The band concluded their act by projecting a series of messages on the screen which read, “Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,” “It is being enabled by the US government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes,” and “Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.”
The British-American TV personality condemned Coachella, calling it “a festival that compromised its moral and spiritual integrity.” She criticized Goldenvoice, the festival’s organizer by claiming they allowed “artists to use the Coachella stage as a platform for political expression.”
