Sharon Osbourne calls for the revocation of the work visas of the patella

Sharon Osbourne shared his disdain from the ball joint of the Hip-Hop Trio of Northern Irish and the Franc Messaging present in their recent Set Coachella, going so far as to call for the revocation of their work visas.

Osbourne shared his comments on social networks on Tuesday April 22, a few days after the catch-up played the second weekend of the Coachella festival. The performance of Friday, April 18, attracted recognition of the use by the group of strong anti-Israeli feelings during their set-The feelings they had pretented were censored during their first appearance on the weekend.

“Israel commits a genocide against the Palestinian people,” said the messages planned. “He is in the process of the United States government that stops and finance Israel despite their war crimes. F – K Israel; Free Palestine. ”

These messages were not the only pro-Palestinian feelings shared during the 2025 edition of the festival. In particular, Green Day changed the words to reflect the fate of Palestinian children, while names such as Bob Vylan and red blonde displayed Palestinian flags during their sets. In the case of the latter, the event on stage was covered with SA by the audio of Mahmoud Khalil – the student graduated from the University of Columbia currently owned in an immigration detention center after his role in campus demonstrations.

However, Osbourne shared a long response to the apparent politicization of Coachella, noting that this year’s edition will remain memories “like a festival which compromised its moral and spiritual integrity”.

“Goldenvoice, the festival organizer, made it easier by allowing artists to use the Coachella scene as a platform for political expression,” she wrote. “At a time when the world is experiencing important disorders, music should serve as an escape, not a scene of political discourse.

“While festivals like Coachella have remarkable talents around the world, the main goal of music is to unite people. It should not be a place to promote terrorist organizations or dissemination of hatred. ”

As Osbourne continued, she noted that despite being a fan of the headliners Green Day, she estimated that their own opinions on events in the Middle East would have been more appropriate if they were shared “during their own concert, not during a festival”. The feelings of the patella, however, were tried so flagrant that it closed by asking the supporters to join its “pleading for the revocation of the work visa of the patella”.

“The ball joint, an Irish rap group, brought its performance to a different level by incorporating aggressive political statements,” wrote Osbourne. “Their actions included projections of anti-Israeli messages and hate speeches, and this group openly supports terrorist organizations.

“This behavior raises concerns concerning the relevance of their participation in such a festival and additional programs are reserved in the United States.

In the wake of the performance of Knecap, the CEO of Goldenvoice, Paul Tollett, would have said that he was “blinded” by the actions of the group. While the CEO of Hybé America and former director of talents, scooter, Braun – who previously organized exhibitions in Los Angeles and Israel during the attacks of October 7, 2023 in Israel – defended Tollett, Osbourne expressed the disbelief that anyone who attended exhibitions such as Braun could book an artist like Kneecap.

“In addition, the independent group of artists, which represents the ball joint, includes individuals of the Jewish heritage,” she continued. “It is discouraging that they did not use their positions to prevent the promotion of these controversial messages. Shame on them.

“As a person with the two Irish Catholics on the side of my mother and the Jewish ashkenaze heritage on the side of the fathers and a vast experience in the music industry, I understand the complexities involved,” she added. “The demand for Goldenvoice of being” blinded “by the performance of the patella seems incredible given the circumstances. I know full well that some people in the industry had written in Goldenvoice, broadcasting their concerns concerning the reservation of the patella. ”

For their part, the ball joint did not respond directly to the criticisms of their messaging, rather sharing examples of the myriad of support messages that they received following their coachella sets. The group will return to North America in October for another series of live dates.
