The frontman of the controversial punk-rock duo Bob Vylan has described having his visa revoked as a “relief”.
Speaking on the Louis Theroux Podcast, Pascal Robinson-Foster, the singer in the duo, said: “We do not enjoy being in that country, we never have.” He recalled calling his bandmate to tell him that his visa had been revoked and said that after a “unified sigh of relief” his bandmate responded: “Well, at least we haven’t got to go there anymore.”
Reflecting on how he feels when in the United States, Robinson-Foster said that he finds himself “counting the days you can get home” and that “we never really have the desire to break America… We really don’t enjoy being there.” When Theroux suggested that there was much to enjoy in the country, he replied: “Is there? Tell me?” adding that “the politics of that country have just made it an extremely ugly place to be.”
