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

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

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau confirmed the duo's visas have been revoked "in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants."
