UK's Largest Choir Removes 'Every Breath You Take' Over Controversial Lyrics

Britain's largest choir, Rock Choir, has decided to remove The Police's song 'Every Breath You Take' from their repertoire due to concerns about its portrayal of an abusive relationship. Founder Caroline Redman Lusher announced this decision, stating that the song's lyrics could evoke negative emotions among members, prompting a need for a supportive environment. Sting, who wrote the song, has previously acknowledged its potentially sinister undertones, describing it as a reflection on surveillance rather than a straightforward love song. The song has faced criticism over the years for its perceived themes of obsession and control. Rock Choir, comprised of over 31,000 members across the UK, aims to maintain a safe space for its participants, many of whom use the choir as a form of therapy. The track will be replaced by 'Learning to Fly' by the Foo Fighters in their performances.
