Tenors boot 'lone wolf' after adding 'All Lives Matter' to Canadian anthem

Following a deluge of criticism on social media, The Tenors booted Remigio Pereira from the band Tuesday after the singer unilaterally changed the lyrics to the Canadian anthem to include "All Lives Matter" ahead of the 2016 MLB All-Star Game at Petco Park.

In a statement posted on the band's Twitter account, the group apologized to their countrymen and Major League Baseball, as well as their fans, families, and friends for Pereira's actions, claiming that the singer who held up an All Lives Matter sign and changed the lyrics to O Canada acted as a "lone wolf."

The Tenors are deeply sorry for the disrespectful and misguided lack of judgment by one member of the group acting as a 'lone wolf' today...

The other members of the group are shocked and embarrassed by the actions of Remigio Pereira, who changed the lyrics of our treasured anthem and used this coveted platform to serve his own political views.

Our sincere apologies and regrets go out to everybody who witnessed this shameful act, to our fellow Canadians, to Major League Baseball, to our friends, families, fans and to all those affected.

The actions of one member of this group were extremely selfish, and he will not be performing with The Tenors until further notice.

In front of a sellout crowd in San Diego, Pereira opted to take some creative liberties with 'O Canada', replacing the line "with glowing hearts we see thee rise/the True North strong and free" with "we're all brothers and sisters/all lives matter to the brave."
