Scandal with Bob Vylan: celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk
According to The Sun: The band Bob Vylan caused huge outrage by celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, which happened on stage right before the crowd.
This incident is already the latest in a series of scandals for the band, which previously sparked a wave of discontent with their call for 'Death to the IDF' during the Glastonbury festival in July.

Recently at a concert in Amsterdam's Paradiso club, frontman Bobby Vylan (real name Pascal Robinson-Foster) addressed the audience in an offensive manner: “I want to dedicate the next song to an absolute piece of human trash.”
“Because, if you talk nonsense, you get it in the face. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, you piece of trash.”
Bobby even asked the audience if there were “any snipers in the room” before starting his rude performance.
Piers Morgan called the comments from the outcasts “disgusting,” writing on X:
“This is so disgusting, from Vylan and the crowd. Imagine being able to celebrate the murder of a person just for their unpopular views?”
This scandal occurred just days after Kirk, a father of two, was shot at a Utah college event.
The 31-year-old conservative activist fell to the ground and later died in the hospital, leaving behind his wife Erika and two small children aged three and one.
Bob Vylan performed their sets under a Palestinian flag, and police were present outside the club due to rising threats.
First word from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika
Emotional Erika Kirk spoke for the first time after the murder of her husband Charlie, telling her daughter that dad is “on a work trip with Jesus.”
The widow described the activist as an “ideal” father and husband in an emotional address from Turning Point USA studio, where his podcast chair remained sadly empty.
“You cannot imagine the fire you have ignited in this wife,” she said, her voice breaking.
“The cries of this widow will resonate around the world like the cry of a fighter.”
The grieving widow posted pictures and videos on social media, revealing her pain as Charlie’s body was brought home to Arizona on Air Force Two.
Against the background of the plane, Erika was supported by Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha, who helped her stay strong during those difficult moments.
In one of the touching videos, Erika holds Charlie’s hand in the open coffin, her head resting on it as if wishing to bring him back to life.
Amid sobs, she whispers: “I love you” and “God bless you,” kissing his hands goodbye.
The band has also been accused of “inciting a pogrom” during the concert in Amsterdam when they called on listeners to hunt for Zionists “in the streets.”
According to reports, they urged their fans: “Let the rotten fascists, let the rotten Zionists. Go and look for them in the streets.”
The head of the Central Jewish Council of the Netherlands, Chanan Hertzberger, noted: “The singer Bob Vylan’s call from the stage ‘go look for them in the streets’ at Paradiso is nothing short of a call for a pogrom in Amsterdam.”
He added: “Vylan’s call makes society dangerous for the Jewish community.”
The band’s performance in Amsterdam, held under a Palestinian flag and amidst heightened security, was the latest in a series of scandals.
The talent agency UTA has already cut ties with the duo, and police in Avon and Somerset are investigating their statements during Glastonbury.
