Stage invasion

During her performance of the song at the grand final in Lisbon on 12 May, SuRie's microphone was taken by a stage invader, who then yelled into the microphone "all you Nazis of the UK media, we demand freedom", and was arrested shortly afterwards. She was given the opportunity to perform again by the EBU but declined.
