BBC director of music steps down after Bob Vylan Glastonbury controversy

A BBC music boss has reportedly stepped down following the backlash around British punk-rap Bob Vylan’s controversial Glastonbury 2025 set.  

Lorna Clarke, the BBC’s director of music, was reported by The Times as stepping back from her day-to-day responsibilities – including overseeing live music events - following the backlash to livestreaming Bob Vylan’s performance last month.
