As The Times reported, music bands will sing over the pre-recorded vocal and instrumental tracks at the Olympic Games 2012 ceremonies.
The London Olympic organising committee (Locog) explains that because of the unpredictable and unreliable British weather and the scale of the event there is no choice but to go forward with this approach..
As quoted in The Telegraph Locog spokesperson said : “Due to the complexity involved, it’s just not possible for the music in all the shows to be live. There will be live musical elements but many of the songs will be recorded in advance. This is standard practice for an event of this scale.”
The Musicians' Union has described this approach as "shameful". As quoted in The Telegraph, Horace Trubridge, the assistant general secretary, said: "Coming from the UK, which is the home of live music, it is very poor.”
