Bambie Thug’s team remained tight-lipped when asked by a Sky reporter about Bambie Thug’s absence from the flag parade.

It is said the singer missed the final rehearsal due to “a situation” they said needed “urgent attention” from organisers.

  4. I like when an artist puts occult symbolism into their music, Bambi isn’t the first musician to express themselves in such a manner especially if they use witchcraft to empower themselves. But their performance was unique compare to black metal bands and the band Ghost (really great band I recommend) to be honest the satanic comments aren’t new nor will ever stop unfortunately. Also those symbols aren’t just religious but cultural significance to the Irish and Scottish people, I’m sure others in the UK it’s quite insensitive when people say it’s satanic and evil.

  7. According to the Irish broadcaster RTE:

    "The first Irish Eurovision Song Contest finalist since 2018 has said they altered a pro-Palestinian message on their outfit following an "order" from the competition organisers.

    Bambie Thug won a place in Saturday's final with a mesmerising execution of their song Doomsday Blue at the semi-final in Malmö, Sweden last night.

    The Cork-born singer, 31, told a press conference in Malmö they were forced to change their body paint in Ogham script – an early Medieval alphabet – which translated to "ceasefire" and "freedom", a nod to the situation in Gaza and amid Israel's inclusion in the Eurovision.

    "It was very important for me because I'm pro-justice and pro-peace," they said.

    "Unfortunately, I had to change those messages today to 'Crown the Witch' only (which was an) order from the EBU (European Broadcasting Union)."

    A spokesperson for the EBU said: "The writing seen on Bambie Thug's body during dress rehearsals contravened contest rules that are designed to protect the non-political nature of the event.

    "After discussions with the Irish delegation, they agreed to change the text for the live show."
