Village People leave fans furious after confirming Trump inauguration performance

The Village People say they hope their hit “YMCA” will help “bring the country together” while confirming that they will perform at president-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. 

Announcing the decision on the band’s Facebook page on Monday (13 January), a spokesperson said: “We know this won’t make some of you happy, however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics.”

They hoped their tunes would unite the country “after a tumultuous and divided campaign”, they added.

The spokesperson went on to say that despite the fact that their “preferred candidate lost” the election in November, they had accepted an invitation from the Trump campaign to perform at “various events” around the inauguration on 20 January.
