UPDATE: Popular UK rocker Yungblud has gone viral following a stirring speech about women’s rights during his concert in Melbourne on October 10, 2023. The singer, currently on his IDOLS world tour, used his platform to advocate for Iranian women facing oppression, sparking an outpouring of support from fans and online followers.
During the electrifying show, Yungblud paused to deliver a heartfelt message about the ongoing struggles of women in Iran. “Two years ago, I spoke about a girl called Mahsa Amini, who was murdered for not wearing her hijab,” he declared, shirtless and visibly passionate. His words resonated deeply with the crowd as he continued, “What is going on in Iran… this revolution is led by the f**king women!”
The urgency of his message was palpable as he highlighted the severe conditions in Iran, stating, “For four days they have had their internet cut off, they have had their electricity cut off. They are in darkness and they are asking for our voice.” He urged the audience, “We have to be their f**king light right now. So speak, shout, post, because they are fighting for freedom.”
Yungblud’s comments struck a chord, leading to multiple clips of his speech circulating widely on social media, garnering hundreds of thousands of views. Fans expressed their admiration, with one writing, “Isn’t he refreshing? What a joy to see a rock star using their platform to speak out.”
Notably, even controversial figures like anti-trans activist Kellie-Jay Keen expressed support for Yungblud, stating, “I’m not a fan but I’m delighted he said this.” Fellow concert-goers and online commentators praised the musician for breaking the silence on such critical issues while many others remain quiet.
Yungblud, who is known for his bold and unapologetic stance, has captured international attention not just for his music but for his activism. His recent antics, including a daring naked stunt on a boat in Sydney, have also generated headlines, but it’s his advocacy for Iranian women that is resonating most powerfully right now.
As the situation in Iran escalates, Yungblud’s message serves as a rallying cry for change, urging people worldwide to engage and support the fight for human rights. The singer concluded his passionate speech with a powerful declaration: “Nobody is free until we are all f**king free.”
Fans are encouraged to share Yungblud’s message across platforms, amplifying the call for justice and solidarity with those in Iran. The momentum from this concert could significantly impact the ongoing dialogue surrounding women’s rights globally.
