Canadian Rocker Bryan Adams Trends After Slamming China for COVID-19: ‘Bat Eating, Virus Making Greedy Bastards’

Canadian rocker Bryan Adams trended on social media after launching a racist attack on China over the coronavirus.

Said Adams on Instagram, as the caption to an isolation performance of his track “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 f**king 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 f**king 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. X❤️ #songsfromisolation #covid_19 #banwetmarkets #selfisolation #bryanadamscutslikeaknife #govegan🌱”

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.

IN 2016: Canadian Rocker Bryan Adams Cancels Mississippi Show Over Anti-LGBT ‘Religious Freedom’ Law

Some reactions to Adams’ rant:

And I thought #BryanAdams was one of the good guys. ☹️The upside to his gigs being cancelled is that he’s got LOTS of time for his apology tour, sprinkled with some anger management classes via Zoom or perhaps even a perfunctory rehab stint for appearances sake 🤷‍♀️

Some people are confused if #BryanAdams tweet is racist or not. Well Katie Hopkins has championed it. Confusion over. https://t.co/6FI9ynAyOO

For fuck sake. Give Bryan Adams a break. He’s only saying what the majority is thinking. A lot of people saying he’s racist – bullshit! If I was called a “pie eating, beer drinking British arsehole” I wouldn’t say you were racist, I’d say you were correct 😂👍. #BryanAdams

Now that I see #BryanAdams trending because he's a a racist fuckwit, I am a lot happier that I converted his concert t-shirt into my first ever homemade respiratory mask. pic.twitter.com/e8M9jGZiQw

I'm willing to sell my Bryan Adams cassette tape at a really low price. I cant support him anymore. DM me….Serious offer only. Previous asking price of 25cents now down to 3cents. #bryanadams pic.twitter.com/kbkvQHo7i4

If you ever find yourself defending something vile (Like the rant that #bryanadams went on ) by saying "It's NOT racist, it's TRUE", then you must accept the fact that you are a fucking racist.

Looks like Bryan Adams will have to dust off 'Please Forgive Me.' pic.twitter.com/FEvMLrlkDi

Well…I didn’t have #BryanAdams being a screaming racist on my 2020 #StopTheMadness Bingo card… pic.twitter.com/XOMVcghHn6
