  1. Sure different than the summer of ‘69, when you could actually enjoy a hamburger without listening to a dikhed like Bryan Adams.

    1. From celine asking for a kayak to madona ranting in a bathtub, up to this noBrayn Adam-ant: everytime you give a mic to one of those ‘celebs’ (pff), they reveal themselves the greatest jerks ever.

  2. Aside from the go vegan part, he’s not wrong….stop eating this crap, it caused this problem.

  3. First fact : yes they do eat bats and coronavirus lives in bats. Second fact: China themselves claimed the virus came from the wetmarket and wetmarkets are cruel and inhumane to animals and have filthy conditions. Third fact: the Wuhan lab is being investigated as a very probable source of the virus. This theory has not been dismissed in any way as you so easily claim. And I would say greed has a big place in it all.

  4. You are 60 years old, you know what you are doing and expressing. Your apology is not sincere. You just don’t want the backlash that’s all.

    1. Wow, … wet markets are insane cruelty. Every type of animal squished in cages for hours, silly is it?

    1. @Steve’s World of Wanders yes, cats are sold at wet markets, check your research. Many many, 30 million a year are eaten in China alone.10 million dogs.

  5. The hypothesis that the virus came from a Chinese lab has NOT been discounted. Nothing wrong with what Bryan said. Truth hurts.

  6. Wet Markets are insane cruelty, we applaud you Bryan Adams, !!!!! No animal rights laws in Asia, how horrific !!!
