The Village People consider performing at Trump's inauguration after past refusals

The Village People, who previously declined to perform at President Trump’s inauguration and events, are now open to considering a performance if asked. Their manager stated they would think seriously about it this time, given the song "Y.M.C.A." is associated with Trump. The group has seen their 1978 hit "Y.M.C.A." rise on the charts, reaching number 4 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic chart. They believe Trump's use of the song at rallies has contributed to its renewed popularity. Manager Karen Willis noted that the decision to perform would ultimately depend on lead singer Victor Willis. She mentioned they would include "Y.M.C.A." if they agree to perform at the inauguration.
