During the September show, Bobby Vylan dedicated a track to Charlie Kirk, who was recently shot dead at a Utah Valley University event. Referring to Kirk, he told the crowd:”An absolute piece of shit of a human being. If you chat shit you will get banged. Rest in peace Charlie Kirk, you piece of shit.”
The statement drew a mix of cheers and shocked reactions from the audience. Video clips from the performance quickly circulated online, fueling criticism from commentators and fans alike.
Charlie Kirk, known for his close alliance with former U.S. President Donald Trump and his role as founder of the conservative group Turning Point USA, was killed in what U.S. authorities are investigating as a political assassination.
