Sharon Osbourne has urged US authorities to revoke work visas for Kneecap after the Irish language rap group used a performance at Coachella to denounce Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The TV presenter accused the band of hate speech and supporting terrorist organisations and said it should not be allowed to perform in the US. “I urge you to join me in advocating for the revocation of Kneecap’s work visa,” she exhorted followers on X on Tuesday.

    Look lady you had a pretty good run with getting rich AND famous by marrying a rock star and you even leveraged a later in life tv career out of being that woman married to that guy but I seriously wouldn’t push it when your notoriety is on such tenuous grounds.

    Same woman who picked a fight with ICP on the Stern show. Go for it Sharon, I’m sure it’ll work out for us.

        I don’t remember the details but it was something about a band Sharon managed (coal chamber?) getting asked to leave an ICP tour (really odd combo to begin with) and it ends on the Stern show exactly as you would expect with the two ICP guys lol

    Do they want a prison riot? Because sending kneecap to an immigration concentration camp sounds like a fantastic way to achieve that!
