The singer made a statement on the conflict, weeks after a music group was stopped from wearing Palestinian attire on the show

Singer Imelda May wore a traditional Palestinian dress and expressed her support for people of the war-torn enclave on tonight’s Late Late Show – just weeks after a music group were stopped from doing so on the programme.

“I want to show my solidarity with them… and for peace and love, and against war and children being harmed and maimed, and against genocide, and against occupation, and also for Jewish people who use their voices to fight for peace as well because that’s tough too. It confirmed that the group had been asked to remove badges and clothing in support of Palestine ahead of their live performance on the Late Late Show.

“He liked to fight for the underdog. He liked to write about the underdog. But he was just so, so brilliant. The way he played with words. He was a literary genius,” she said, adding that he was “up there with Brendan Behan”.
