A cabaret singer has blasted the banning of the Sir Tom Jones song Delilah as "pathetic." Boy George impersonator Liam Halewood told the Manchester Evening News "re-writing history is wrong."
The Welsh Rugby Union recently removed the classic hit and Welsh rugby anthem Delilah from the choir setlists at the Principality Stadium because of its violent connotations. The song tells the story of a jealous parter discovering his girlfriend frolicking with another man and stabbing her to death.
One line from the 1967 Ivor Novello-winning hit reads: "I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door; she stood there laughing. I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more."
