Lunchtime Live Highlights

Do we want celebrities to make political statements?


Listen Later

Sharon Osbourne has called for Kneecap’s US work visas to be revoked…

At the end of their Coachella set, they put pro-Palestinian messages up on the big screen behind them.

Sharon Osborne has said they took their performance to a different level by incorporating “aggressive” political statements.

She said - after witnessing their performance during the first weekend, that allowing them to perform again the following weekend suggests support for their rhetoric and a lack of due diligence.

Are artists and celebrities free to make political statements? Or, are they meant to entertain, and nothing else?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Alan Buckley, the Head Tour Guide at the Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum Experience, Journalist Saoirse Hanley, John Brereton, Grand Social PR Manager & Director of the Dublin Bowie festival and listeners.
