The Proclaimers portas från kröningsplaylist
The Proclaimers ”I'm gonna be (500 miles)” har tagits bort från Charles III officiella krönings-spellista på grund av den skotska duons anti-rojalistiska åsikter, rapporterar brittiska medier.
Proclaimers-bröderna Craig och Charlie Reid har vid flera tillfällen uttryckt kritik mot monarkin och stöttat ett republikanskt statsskick. Enligt BBC ska låten ha tagits bort efter klagomål.
Spellistan ska enligt det brittiska hovet ”hylla artister från Storbritannien och samväldet”, och innehåller bland annat låtar av David Bowie, The Beatles och Spice Girls.
