Wireless Festival was cancelled after the rapper was denied entry into the UK.

It's understood Kanye West still hopes to begin a "conversation with the Jewish community", after he was blocked from entering the UK.

The rapper - who faces accusations of antisemitism - had been announced as a headliner at Wireless Festival.

The event, organised by Electric Picnic boss Melvin Benn, is now cancelled and tickets are no longer on sale today.

Russell Langer - from the Jewish Leadership Council - says Mr West's history on the issue of anti-seminitism is deeply offensive.
