Almost Heaven
Well-known
Sharon Osbourne, wife of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, refused to remain silent about this disturbing trend. In a lengthy social media post, Osbourne criticized the festival organizers for permitting inflammatory statements to be broadcast from one of the world's most prominent stages.
Osbourne wrote, "Coachella 2025 will be remembered as a festival that compromised its moral and spiritual integrity. Goldenvoice, the festival organizer, facilitated this by allowing artists to use the Coachella stage as a platform for political expression." She emphasized that "music should serve as a refuge and its purpose is to unite people. It is not a place to promote terrorist organizations or spread hatred."
Osbourne specifically addressed the Irish band Kneecap, which during its festival performance claimed Israel "is committing genocide" and called for the liberation of Palestine.
"Kneecap, an Irish rap group, took their performance to a different level by incorporating aggressive political statements. Their actions included projections of anti-Israel messages and hate speech, and this band openly support terrorist organizations," Osbourne stated. She noted that allowing the band to perform again after witnessing their first weekend performance "suggests support of their rhetoric and a lack of due diligence."
Osbourne concluded by urging everyone to join her "in advocating for the revocation of Kneecap's work visa."
