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.

Rap-punk duo Bob Vylan on Tuesday rejected claims of antisemitism over onstage comments at the Glastonbury Festival that triggered a police investigation and sparked criticism from politicians, the BBC and festival organizers.
