Rock Choir, Britain's largest choir group with 31,000 members, has removed the iconic Police song "Every Breath You Take" from its repertoire due to concerns about the lyrics' potentially abusive undertones. Founder Caroline Redman Lusher announced the decision in a letter to members, explaining that some singers reported the song caused "negative and challenging feelings." The track, written by Sting in 1983, has long been recognized for its sinister undertones of surveillance and control. Sting singer himself has acknowledged the song's dark nature, admitting that the lyrics about watching "every breath you take" have a menacing quality.

The Police band members have not publicly commented on the removal, but the choir's spokeswoman Louise Harris emphasized that even if only a small number of members felt uncomfortable, they wanted to ensure a "supportive and safe environment" for all singers. The song will be replaced by Foo Fighters' "Learning to Fly," with Lusher assuring members that another song from The Police band or a track from the Police lead singer Sting may be added in the future.
