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.

He left Canada ages ago like most of their celebs. I don’t know why some are dismayed at his caving. He’s a typical limo lib and their worst nightmare is to be thought of as racist. Once that label is on you the career is over.

"Apologies to any and all that took offence [sic] to my posting yesterday."

They 'sicced' him for correct spelling -- in the Anglosphere outside the USA, that's how 'offence' is spelled. OTOH, there is no defence for the apology.

Newscaster : But, Mr. Minister, it isn’t like this film is the first troublesome thing to come out of Canada. Let us not forget Bryan Adams.

Canadian Representative : Now, now, the Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions!

Chinese money jerked Bryan Adams’ chain. Well I respect his earlier message is cowardly back down takes it all away.

I am certain that Chinese ownership of multi media corporations had an impact on his backing down. This kind of crap would’ve never happened before Nixon and Kissinger. I hope Nixon is burning in hell and that Kissinger soon joins him.

I don’t know how much he spends or saves, but this is probably his greatest source of income. At Chinese concerts he gets to sell merchandise, do endorsements, get to be paid for media interviews, etc. because CDs are gone, new recordings are gone, the old music industry ways are gone. He is a fading name and this is how he gets to hold on to something. And it is nice that he is taking it out on the Chinese and not Trump. If he took it out on Trump he’s be a celebrity and media darling for one second and then just as quickly forgotten by the same celebs and media. This is probably the case for a lot of musicians who have to tour to support themselves. They are like the hair cutters who want to work.

I predicted this yesterday.

I said Bryan Adams would be begging for forgiveness “by tomorrow morning.”

This is tyranny.

If Trump loses in November, it’s “Every Man For Himself.”
