The UK punk rappers under investigation for chanting “death to the IDF” have sparked fresh disgust by publicly calling assassinated conservative Charlie Kirk a “piece of sh-t” whose pronouns are now “was/were.”

Bob Vylan has already had at least one show canceled in disgust at the vile remarks made at a packed show at Amsterdam’s Club Paradiso on Saturday, just days after married dad Kirk, 31, was shot dead at a debate.

“I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of sh-t of a human being,” frontman Bobby Vylan, real name Pascal Robinson-Foster, was heard telling the crowd, according to Rolling Stone.

“The pronouns was/were. ‘Cause if you chat sh-t you will get banged. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, you piece of sh-t.”

Bobby Vylan was also asked the sold-out crowd if there were “any snipers in the room” before launching into the disturbing tirade.

The remarks were delivered beneath a Palestinian flag on stage, with police maintaining a presence outside the venue due to heightened security over its earlier vile chants calling for the death of Israeli troops.

Bobby Vylan released a statement in an Instagram video over the latest outrage, claiming somehow that they didn’t “celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death.”

“I did call him a piece of s–t. That much is true. But at no point was his death celebrated,” Vylan said — saying those upset by it just needed to “calm down.”

Club Paradiso also issued a statement following the controversial performance, appearing to defend the group’s “artistic freedom.”

“Paradiso believes in the power of artistic freedom. Music, and punk in particular, has traditionally been a form of art that amplifies anger, discontent, and injustice without filter,” the venue shared in a statement, according to Rolling Stone.

However, the duo’s next gig — at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Netherlands, on Tuesday — was canceled.

“While we understand that these statements were made in the context of punk and activism, and that the reporting on them is sometimes less nuanced than what actually happened, we still believe these new statements go too far,” the venue said.

“They no longer fall within the scope of what we can offer a platform.”

Bob Vylan remains under investigation following a controversial performance at Glastonbury in June, where they led the massive audience in gang chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF” in referencing the Israeli Defense Forces.

The BBC was forced to issue an apology for airing the Glastonbury set, saying it “deeply regrets that such offensive and deplorable behavior appeared on screen.”

During testimony before a parliamentary committee, BBC Director General Tim Davie condemned the performance, calling it “antisemitic” and “deeply disturbing.”

A spokesperson for Lisa Nandy, England’s Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, said she “strongly” condemns the “threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury.”

Bobby Vylan hit back, claiming his Glastonbury comments were “neither antisemitic nor criminal.”

Kirk — a 31-year-old father of two and founder of Turning Point USA — was shot in the neck as he answered an audience member’s question about the proliferation of mass shootings perpetrated by trans people.

His alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was arrested Sept. 12 after a 33-hour multi-agency manhunt.
