Rock star Bryan Adams has apologised after posting an expletive-laden coronavirus rant on social media.

On Monday, he wrote: "Thanks to some bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy [expletives], the whole world is now on hold."

Many interpreted the star's comments as anti-Asian or anti-Chinese, but he was praised by some animal rights groups.

"Apologies to any and all that took offence to my posting yesterday," Adams said in a new post on Tuesday.

"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."

He added: "I have love for all people and my thoughts are with everyone dealing with this pandemic around the world."

The singer was due to be performing in London this week, before lockdown measures came into force.

'Irresponsible'

After his original comments were published, the Canadian singer was criticised by Amy Go, president of the Chinese Canadian National Council for Social Justice.

"This is so irresponsible and just so, so, so, so racist," she told CBC News. "People look up to public figures. He is seen as an idol by many."

Go suggested Adams' comments would intensify "racist hatred against Chinese".

Wet markets are a common sight across Asia. They sell live fish, chickens and wildlife, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, dry goods and household products.

Last Friday, the World Health Organisation said one such market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan played a role in the outbreak either as the source or possibly as an "amplifying setting", while stressing more research on the link was necessary.

'Damage has been done'

Adams' original comments came on the night he was supposed to start a three-night residency at London's Albert Hall.

"Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of a tenancy of gigs... but thanks to some [expletive] bat-eating, wet-market animal-selling, virus-making greedy [expletives], the whole world is now on hold, not to mention the thousands that have suffered or died from this virus," he wrote.

"My message to them other than 'thanks a [expletive] lot' is go vegan."

A link to the post has since been deleted from his Twitter account, but Adams' original statement remains on his Instagram page. By Tuesday morning, his name was trending on social media.

"Wow. What racist garbage coming from someone I respected," wrote Instagram user @globalcanuck.

"Bryan Adams' racist xenophobic tirade has been up for 10 hours now. Damage has been done," added Dr Wing Kar Li on Twitter.

However, animal rights group Peta applauded Adams' promotion of veganism.

"This is why its crucial for everyone to go vegan now to prevent the next pandemic," it wrote in a reply to the star's Instagram post.

"It's up to us to create a kinder, healthier future for all species."

In a clip of Adams singing "Into the Fire," he wrote in the caption, "Apologies to any and all that took offence 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. I have love for all people and my thoughts are with everyone dealing with this pandemic around the world."



Canadian musician Bryan Adams says an Instagram post he wrote was meant to promote veganism. But as Xiaoli Li explains, for Asian-Canadians, his language evokes old racist tropes about East Asians.

Bryan Adams' photos: Amy Winehouse, the Queen and Mickey Rourke as you haven't seen them before

The Queen by Bryan Adams; on display at the Glenbow, as part of the new exhibit Bryan Adams Exposed.

When Bryan Adams talks about the photographs he takes, it’s easy to be transported to a world of light and shadows, of moments and magic. Fading into the background is the fact that the man in front of you is the best-selling Canadian rock artist of all time; a singer-songwriter who has received 20 Junos, 15 Grammy nominations and countless other awards. Yes, Adams is a master at taking people on a musical journey, but when his photographs take centre stage, the path being navigated is one of visual connections, sometimes stark and shocking; sometimes whimsical and witty.
 
这反映了很多加拿大人的态度, 差别只是说出来和不说出来.

他说出来了, 就应该被抨击抵制.

那些没说出来的, 甚至说的比唱的更好听的, 终归会在别的事情上表现出来.

华人必须面对. 也必须小心应付.
