Punk duo Bob Vylan has spoken out following uproar over its Glastonbury performance, saying: 'Whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.'

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story,” Bobby and Bobbie Vylan say.

The BBC apologized as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticized the state broadcaster for airing a punk duo live. The group’s visa to tour the U.S. was canceled.
