UK’s biggest choir bans Every Breath You Take after concerns over ‘impact’ on singers A huge UK choir has made the ‘difficult decision’ to remove The Police’s Every Breath You Take from their repertoire.
She wrote in a letter, seen by Far Out, that ‘after much thought and discussion with some of the team, I have made the difficult decision to remove Every Breath You Take from the repertoire.
Despite this, the founder of Rock Choir, Caroline Redman Lusher, sent out a letter to the choir’s over 31,000 members to confirm it would be removed from sets.
Rock Choir has over 400 communities across the UK, and Caroline was awarded an MBE for her services to music and charitable work in the recent New Year Honours.
The 1983 track, written by frontman Sting, became the band’s biggest hit, reaching number one across the UK and US charts.
