In this episode of Fire at Will on GB News, Will Kingston sits down with Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling singer-songwriter John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting and known for hit tracks like "Superman" and "100 Years"). John opens up about the harrowing events of October 7th, drawing comparisons to his experiences during 9/11. He calls out the "moral breakdown" of Western institutions, universities, and major media outlets like the BBC. Furthermore, John directly addresses what he describes as an industry-wide "historic disgrace" and "moral cowardice" within Hollywood and the music world regarding the Israeli hostages. Finally, John shares the deeply emotional story of rewriting his iconic anthem "Superman" for a freed hostage, Alon, and offers powerful, practical advice for young, contrarian creatives trying to navigate today's heavily politicised entertainment landscape. #GBNews #UKNews #Israel #Gaza #War #Music #LatestNews Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend Hosted on Acast.
