Rebecca Ferguson reveals she will NOT be performing at Donald Trump's inauguration ... after demanding she sang anti-racist anthem

British singer Rebecca Ferguson has pulled out of Donald Trump 's inauguration after a row about her performing a famous protest song about lynching. The Liverpool-born star (pictured, left) wanted to perform Strange Fruit - a track which was
written in the 1930s to protest at racism and particularly the lynching of black people (inset) and was most famously performed by the late Billie Holiday. The haunting melody contains the lyrics: 'Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.' It appears the President-elect (right) or people on his team have decided it did not set the right tone for his inauguration.
