Punk duo Bob Vylan has spoken out following uproar over its Glastonbury performance, saying: 'Whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.'

The BBC has admitted that controversial punk duo Bob Vylan were deemed “high risk” before Glastonbury took place over the weekend, while the board has thrown its weight behind Director General Tim Davie and the “swift actions” he took on the day.

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story,” Bobby and Bobbie Vylan say.
