British acapella group The King’s Singers say they are “deeply saddened” after a concert at a US college was allegedly cancelled due to “concerns related to the sexuality” of its members.
The vocal group said it was the first concert cancellation in its 55-year history, apart from bad weather, the global pandemic or war. In a statement on Instagram The King’s Singers said they had previously performed at Pensacola Christian College, in Florida, with the knowledge that it was a “fundamentalist” institution.
“We were deeply saddened that our concert at Pensacola Christian College was cancelled at two hours’ notice on Saturday February 11th,” the statement read. “The school gave its reasons for cancellation as ‘concerns’ expressed about the ‘lifestyle’ of members of our group.
