Bambie Thug, the Irish entry for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, recently revealed that they were unable to attend the dress rehearsal for the grand final due to an incident that required immediate attention. The 31-year-old performer shared that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the organizer of the competition, is currently investigating the matter and has taken it seriously.
As a non-binary artist, Bambie explained that they are working closely with the EBU to determine the best course of action. As a result, they had to miss the dress rehearsals at Malmo Arena in Sweden. However, they expressed their hope to see their fans at the grand final tonight.
In a statement posted on their Instagram Stories, Bambie addressed their fans, affectionately referred to as the "Coven," and explained the situation. They shared that there was an incident that required urgent attention while they were waiting for the flag parade rehearsal. Bambie assured their followers that the EBU is taking the matter seriously and that discussions are ongoing regarding the necessary actions. Unfortunately, this meant that they had to miss their dress rehearsal, and Bambie apologized to their fans who were looking forward to seeing them perform. They ended their statement by expressing their excitement to take the stage tonight.
