Breaking News: Bob Vylan Cleared in Glastonbury IDF Chant Controversy
Avon and Somerset Police have concluded their investigation into chants made by Bob Vylan during their performance at the Glastonbury Festival, with no further action to be taken. The investigation related to chants of "death, death to the IDF Israel Defence Forces" and other comments made on the West Holts Stage in June.
Police conducted a voluntary interview with a man in his mid 30s and spoke to approximately 200 members of the public, but found insufficient evidence to meet the criminal threshold. The force has stated that there is no realistic prospect of conviction.
The investigation was launched after the band's performance was broadcast live on the BBC iPlayer. The police statement confirms that no charges will be brought against anyone involved.
As part of their investigation, police sought legal advice and reviewed all available evidence. The outcome of the investigation has been welcomed by the band's representatives, who have declined to comment further.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
