Refunds will be issued after weeks of sponsor withdrawals and political backlash.

The UK Home Office say the rapper's presence is 'not conducive to the public good', according to the BBC.

Multiple sponsors have pulled out of the London festival out as a UK visa decision remains pending.

Benn insists Ye has “a legal right” to perform, calling for “forgiveness and hope” as political pressure, sponsor withdrawals and community criticism intensify.
