Singer Changes Words To "O Canada" At MLB All-Star Game

MLB All-Star pregame ceremonies generated controversy as Remigio Pereira, a member of Canadian singing group The Tenors, held up a sign reading “All Lives Matter” and changed words to his country's national anthem during the group’s on-field performance. A statement from the group posted on Twitter during the game blamed the action on Pereira alone and said he will “not be performing with the The Tenors until further notice.” The statement read in part, “The other members of the group are shocked and embarrassed by the actions of Remigio Pereira, who changed the lyrics of our treasured anthem and used this coveted platform to serve his own political views.”
