Glastonbury Controversies and Box Office Triumphs Rock Entertainment World
The entertainment world is abuzz with reactions to Glastonbury Festival events, amid controversies involving chants against Israeli military by Bob Vylan and protests led by Kneecap. Meanwhile, Rod Stewart dazzled fans, and Apple's 'F1: The Movie' hit the top of the US and Canada box office. BBC expressed regrets over livestreaming antisemitic chants.
Controversy stirred at the Glastonbury Festival as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and festival organizers spoke out against chants criticizing the Israeli military. Punk-rap duo Bob Vylan initiated the contentious moment, chanting 'Death, death, to the IDF' during their performance.
Adding to Glastonbury's headline-making moments, veteran singer Rod Stewart was accompanied by Ronnie Wood and Lulu for a nostalgia-filled set, delighting audiences with his classic hits. Concurrently, Apple's 'F1: The Movie' sped to the forefront of the US and Canadian box offices, generating $55.6 million in ticket sales over the weekend.
The festival also witnessed Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap leading an anti-Keir Starmer chant, despite political and industry pressures to withdraw their appearance. The BBC, meanwhile, faced criticism for not interrupting Bob Vylan's livestream, as the performance included chants deemed antisemitic.
