Nashville, Feb 12, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Singer John Mayer has been forced to apologize for the racist comments that he had made in his recent interview with the Playboy magazine. First, he had tweeted, admitting that he should never have made those comments, and that he should have been heedful to the fact that his comments might have hurt a great number of people. He particularly expressed his regret for using the “N”-word, promising that there would not be a repetition of it ever. However, this was not the end of the apologies. John Mayer again said sorry for his comments, this time, in the way he says it best, by singing.
In a recent concert that was held in Nashville, he took the stage not only to perform, but also took the opportunity to extend is apologies once more. It was an emotional apology, and according to some of the witnesses, he had teared over while he said how sorry he was about the whole issue. He admitted that he had uttered those words merely to sound clever, but in the process had forgotten that his words might have hurt many who love him.
He further commented that he had been sucked inside a “wormhole” of selfishness, and admitted that his actions have indeed become rather selfish and arrogant in his actions. From now on, he promised, he would prefer to stay as far away from the media as possible, and would also attempt to focus as much as possible on playing his guitar. He also expressed his grievances by saying what he said was absolutely the opposite of what he actually wanted to say.
