By Staff Writer Brian Hiatt reports

In response to demands by the artists, music by Sarah McLachlan and Cheryl Wheeler will be removed from videotapes documenting last year's massacre at Columbine High School, officials said Friday (April 28).

The video, which was released to the public this week by officials in Golden, Colo., in response to a court order, used McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" (RealAudio excerpt of live version) and Wheeler's "If It Were Up to Me" over grisly images of the aftermath of the shootings.

....Wheeler and McLachlan had demanded the removal of their music, which they said was used without permission.

"It's wonderful Ñ they should do it as soon as possible," Coleen Novak, a member of McLachlan's management team, said. "It's just unfortunate that it had to had to happen like this in the first place. Sarah is very upset [about the inclusion of her music]."

....The music had been added to the footage when it was originally used as a training video for emergency workers.
