Well for many many years English and European bands have pronounced words with the American pronounciation including bands such as The Beatles and Rolling Stones even though that is not how they would normally pronounce them in daily speech. That is why the accent of non-American bands is not always obvious ... because they sing with an American accent.
When it comes to singing there is always creative freedom when it comes to pronounciation. Whatever makes the song work.

Reminds me of "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon" by the Andrew Sisters. "Schon" isn't pronounced correctly but had to rhyme with "explain".
