TORONTO - Canadian singer Bryan Adams apologized on Tuesday for a social media post in which he blamed “bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards” for the novel coronavirus.
Adams, who first became a global star in 1984 with hits including “Summer of ‘69” and “Heaven”, made the comments in the caption of an Instagram post on Monday when he addressed the cancellation of his concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London due to COVID-19.The post was widely condemned on social media, and Amy Go, president of the Chinese Canadian National Council for Social Justice, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp that the singer’s comments were “just so, so, so, so racist.
Many researchers believe that the virus originated from a wet market in Wuhan, China, although a theory that the virus emerged from a lab in Wuhan has gained ground in recent weeks.The World Health Organization has said evidence suggest the novel coronavirus originated in animals, “most likely” in bats before spreading to humans through an intermediate animal host, and that there is no evidence to suggest it was created by humans.
武漢肺炎👎👎👎
Bryan Adams right after posting his apologies
Chinese or Canadian is NOT a race, so statement(s) about China or Chinese is not racism. Wet market, and eating bats is not a Chinese only thing-however 'greed' is what gave it away. Meanwhile, China hushed EU ambassador and Australia from stating facts about the origin of COVID
He must be broke if he is flipping out like this. He should come to Panama where we have a full curfew since 2 month! Only allowed every Tuesday & Thursday 2 hours for groceries or pharmacy.
Indeed , wet market is kind of traditional market in China or among Chinese community. But the problem is , selling bat or other kind of wild animals in the market is extremely dangerous. It could spread virus to humans and cause accidents.
Singer shouldn't appologize. Instead china must appologize for exporting virus
I would apology for that apology. China and chinese are monsters we sud remain vigilant forever
He was right
BryanAdams, listen, COVID19 comes from Batsoup in wuhan
BryanAdamsIsRight
Conspiracy?!
Please forgive me I know not what I do Please forgive me Can’t stop tweeting you Don’t deny me This pain I’m going through Please forgive me As I’m losing revenue
Still a twat
China must pay. Nothing racist about this! CCP are criminals
eating bats is a fact, which part is conspiracy?
Everyone should kneel to China?
CCP is playing the racist card again and again. When do the world wake up?
China, and all of its organizations (eg. Chinese Canadian Org) even in foreign countries will bully governments and corporations to bow to them. They will not allow truth to see the light of day, and only promote their propaganda. BanChina
Why apologised? Bryan Adams did nothing wrong!
All is conspiracy when we said China's truth.
Dick: suspicions confirmed.
Virus from Wuhan Lab-- Conspiracy Virus from wet market-- Conspiracy Virus from US army--Not Conspiracy by Zhao Lijian, spokesperson of China
roybelly Dont apologize to the bat eaters
When will China apologize for their negligence?
This is. No freedom of speech once an issue about China. ChinaMustExplain
Why apologise? China in fact is killing the world
What rant? China caused this.
China Virus
Why the apology ? He meant what he said .....
COVIDIOTS
No matter how stupid people need to stop apologizing for to the PC bullies. The only way we will ever get them off our backs is to stand up to them as a group! Do you really want to live your whole life saying I'm sorry for silly stuff? 80 years old not up with the times...Think
File this under 'Things We'll Never See Again:'
Who?
I don’t see conspiracy content — just blaming animal sellers & eaters for what he thinks caused the outbreak. Did not promote the “Wuhan lab” accusation or other identifiable conspiracy theory. Even vegans don’t have to believe carnivores conspire to create zoonotic outbreaks.
Now even Bryan Adams is a racist. Sorry Bryan but I’m burning all your vinyl.
Can he apologized for that Maker's Mark and Marlboro raspy ass voice?
Too bad there aren't any artist that aren't afraid to stand up for what they say and they all feel like they have to apologize for their opinion. United States of America needs rock and roll!
The unconscionable part of his IG caption was whinging about losing his toff gig when everything in the world is cancelled.
MarkDice Mark. Here we go again!!!
Jesus Reuters! Conspiracy? So truth and facts aren't permitted anymore. If you are labeling it conspiracy to say that the virus originated in China, then you have ZERO cred!
He’s a fool
When you know you're about to lose a couple of million $$ this is what usually happens.
When 'celebrities' come out against the narrative and then walk it back after receiving hate, it makes the whole argument look foolish. Just like mariolopezviva when he said we shouldn't be giving hormones to kids, then he walks it back. Soft people! ObamaGate
Already got himself Fucked !!
Y?
It’s a shame he apologized. “Because it came from China.”
thought was better than this
classic PR. Own it. Apologize. Move on. As Vegan he should have stuck to his beans, but as a publuc media guy, he had lie prostrate before the twiiter nutballs..
Where's the conspiracy? 🤔
Well, he has a guitar like Geordie Walker, but he doesn't belong to Killingjokeband Killing Joke certainly :)))
The focus should be on china the cause of the global shutdown & its ramifications from mental issues, unseen unemployment, deaths, infected and more Being pissed off at china is normal reaction. as 4 Bryan is a racist, I don't think so! C yourself
Why, what conspiracy?
Never apologize.
Bryan Adams, you are racist!!. I am not going to listen or buy your music again.
bryanadams is a dick......
Stick to your guns
АХИ ВЗДОХИ ) ЛЕНИН ТЫ ЗДЕСЬ ЧТО ЛИ ?
It’s noble recognizing your own mistakes and apologizing for.👏🏼👏🏼 Some people doesn’t.
Too late.
He says his point was against animal cruelty in the wet-markets.. he should have stuck to the topic..
What conspiracy? Is it not confirmed the virus began in the wet markets in China?
Please forgive him he can't stop......
Bit late the horse has bolted.
Too late
RemoveGOPNow Fuck him
bryanadams was right to bad that he apologized and for that he doesn’t have my respect, you should not apologize when your right and bad for the offended ones
“Please forgive him”
Never heard his rant. 🙄
Oh cool. So we can all go back to forgetting Bryan Adams ever existed again? (We were gonna do that anyway)
why apologize
Used to sing good songs. He’s less relevant now. Just makes sad noises.
That photo looks like Mike Flynn trying to launch a new career.
No need to apologize, just 'ask china'
Bryan Adams got dragged. We did it for him.
why apologise what he said is right. china opened wet market again
Never apologize to the rage mob.
Pls forgive me, I know not what I do 🎶
who? one hit album 80's burn out did what now?
