Singer
Bryan
Adams
shared
an
expletive-loaded
rant
on
Instagram
blaming
wet
market
vendors
for
coronavirus
pandemic,
which
led
many
on
social
to
call
the
singer
out
for
being
racist.
Lamenting
the
cancellation
of
his
concerts
in
the
UK's
Royal
Albert
Hall
due
to
the
lockdown,
the
60-year-old
singer
said
"some
f******
bat
eating
people"
are
responsible
for
bringing
the
whole
world
to
a
grinding
halt.
"Tonight
was
supposed
to
be
the
beginning
of
a
tenancy
of
gigs
at
the
Royal
Albert
Hall,
but
thanks
to
some
f******
bat
eating,
wet
market
animal
selling,
virus
making
greedy
b*******,
the
whole
world
is
now
on
hold,
not
to
mention
the
thousands
that
have
suffered
or
died
from
this
virus.
My
message
to
them
other
than
thanks
a
f******
lot
is
go
vegan,"
Adams
wrote
on
Instagram
alongside
a
video
of
himself
playing
his
1983
hit
Cuts
Like
a
Knife
on
a
guitar.
The
novel
virus
originated
in
China's
Wuhan
in
December
2019,
and
some
early
reports
suggested
that
wet
markets
in
the
city
were
the
original
source
of
coronavirus.
However,
there
is
no
confirmation
about
the
link
between
COVID-19
and
the
Wuhan
wet
markets.
After
WHO
declared
coronavirus
outbreak
a
pandemic,
artistes
across
the
globe
had
to
cancel
their
music
concerts,
film
productions
were
called
off
and
most
of
the
movies
ready
for
release
were
pushed
to
a
later
date.
Adams
said
he
hopes
to
get
on
the
road
soon.
To
all
the
people
missing
out
on
our
shows,
I
wish
I
could
be
there
more
than
you
know.
It's
been
great
hanging
out
in
isolation
with
my
children
and
family,
but
I
miss
my
other
family,
my
band,
my
crew
and
my
fans.
Take
care
of
yourselves
and
hope
we
can
get
the
show
on
the
road
again
soon,
he
said.
The
musician's
comments
drew
criticism
on
social
media,
with
many
calling
it
a
racist
attack.
Goes
to
remove
any
Bryan
Adams
songs
from
my
library,
one
user
posted
on
Twitter.
Another
tweet
read,
OK,
so
look:
if
you
do
not
understand
why
Bryan
Adams'
tweet
was
super
f******
racist,
I
can't
help
you.
You
are
part
of
the
problem.
