Did you know Bryan Adams is a racist? Oh, vegan too, which might even be worse. I kid.
Adams revealed a personal side to his fans yesterday when he posted to Instagram. It was, let me search my mind for the right word, not good?
Adams blamed “bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards” for the cancellation of his concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. So basically, a concert where people sit through an hour to hear the two songs they know.
Here’s Adam’s full rant:
CUTS LIKE A KNIFE. A song by me. Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of a tenancy of gigs at the @royalalberthall, but thanks to some fucking bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards, 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 fucking lot” is go vegan. 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. I’ll be performing a snippet from each album we were supposed to perform for the next few days.

Ooof.
Some people on Twitter are saying he was hacked.
Like, was Bryan Adams hacked by Donald Trump?

Others are taking the “Bryan Adams was only taking about veganism” route. If that’s the case, I’m ordering two steaks tonight. Oh wait, there’s a MEAT shortage. Those damn bat eaters!! Totally on Adams’ side now.
Bryan Adams is a die-hard vegan and animan rights activist.
So, knowing that, why is everyone jumping to “racism” to explain this tweet? pic.twitter.com/jrWkrqi6EH

There were some using Adams’ song titles for their hot takes. These would be funny if you know songs from 35 years ago.
The news that Bryan Adams is a disgusting, racist troglodyte really cuts like a knife.

Adams ruining Canada’s image tonight.
Even a whiny, translucent, vegan, has-been musician knows where this virus originated. Perhaps not the wet markets per se, but definitely China.
