"Apologies to any and all that took offence to my posting yesterday" Bryan Adams has apologised for his recent social media rant about the coronavirus which drew accusations of racism, saying he wanted to speak out about “horrible animal cruelty” and promote veganism.
On May 11, the Canadian musician had posted a clip of himself on Instagram singing his 1983 single ‘Cuts Like a Knife’. In its strongly worded caption, he blamed “some fucking bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards” for the coronavirus pandemic. “My message to them other than ‘thanks a fucking lot’ is go vegan,” Adams wrote in that post.
