Sharon Osbourne is demanding that Kneecap have their US work visas revoked after the Irish rap group hijacked Coachella to voice support for Hamas.
With hits like “C.E.A.R.T.A” and “Get Your Brits Out” to their name, Kneecap have made their anti-Israel stance a regular feature of their live shows, and Saturday’s Coachella performance was no different when the band projected “F–k Israel. Free Palestine” across concert screens.

Palestinians have nowhere to go. It’s their f***ing home. And they’re bombing them from the skies. If you’re not calling it a genocide what the f*** are you calling it?”, frontman Mo Chara ranted.
Citing her Jewish heritage, Osbourne joined a chorus of voices demanding that Coachella organizers be held accountable for not shutting down Kneecap’s set.
“Reports indicate that Goldenvoice was unaware of Kneecap’s political intentions when they were booked,” Osbourne wrote on Instagram. “However, after witnessing their performance during the first weekend, allowing them to perform again the following weekend suggests support of their rhetoric and a lack of due diligence.”
“It is disheartening that they have not used their positions to prevent the promotion of such controversial messages. Shame on them,” she stated. “As someone with both Irish Catholic on my Mother’s side and Ashkenazi Jewish heritage on my Father’s side, and extensive experience in the music industry, I understand the complexities involved. I urge you to join me in advocating for the revocation of Kneecap’s work visa.”
Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre, Sharon and her rock legend husband Ozzy Osbourne have been vocal supporters of Israel. Recently, the celebrity couple were among 200 entertainment figures who signed an open letter criticizing the BBC for anti-Israel bias in its Gaza reporting.
