"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."

Adams in his comments had lashed out Chinese wet markets in an expletive rant. “Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of a tenancy of gigs at the Royal Albert Hall, but thanks to some f—ing 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—ing lot” is go vegan, ” he had said.
