John Mayer Breaks Down in Concert Apology
A visibly emotional John Mayer apologized during a Nashville concert Wednesday evening for racial slurs he made in an interview with Playboy magazine.
The singer told his audience that he fell into "a wormhole of selfishness, greediness and arrogance" and "in the quest to be clever, forgot about the people who love me and that I love."
He addressed his bandmates by saying they were on stage with him "not because they condone what I say in any given interview ... but they support myself (sic) as a possible future grown-up."
Mayer also took to his Twitter page on Wednesday to apologize for what he said -- including his use of the N-word.
