Bryan Adams, the Canadian rocker, created a stir online Monday after he posted an expletive-filled rant on social media. The singer-songwriter spoke out against the “greedy bastards” behind Chinese wet markets that he says produced the coronavirus and put his tour on hold, and later faced intense backlash online for the racist comments.
On Tuesday, he issued an apology for his words in another video posted on Instagram. The 60-year-old said, "Apologies to any and all that took offence [sic] to my posting yesterday. "No excuse, I just wanted to have a rant about the horrible animal cruelty in these wet-markets being the possible source of the virus, and promote veganism.
