Headline: Kneecap cancels US tour due to court hearing

Caption:

The Irish hip-hop trio cited the court hearing in London involving band member Mo Chara's alleged display of a Hezbollah flag. Chara, real name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was charged with a terrorism offence in the UK in May after being accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah during a concert in London last November. The Belfast-based singer has denied the offence. The group have said that they have never supported Hamas or Hezbollah and claim that the footage of the incident was taken out of context and was being "exploited and weaponised".
