Sobbing John Mayer broke down on stage following a global backlash over race comments.Mayer stopped halfway through a concert last night as the backlash from his recent Playboy interview – in which he used the word “n****r” got to him.
Here are the offending words:
"And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a 'hood pass, you could call it a n---a pass."
Apologising to his bandmates and fans, he tearfully said: “I quit the media game. I’m out. I’m done.
The outspoken star also took to his twitter page to apologise to fans for using the racial slur.
He wrote: “Re: using the ‘N word’ in an interview : I am sorry that I used the word. And it’s such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualise using it, because I realise that there’s no intellectualising a word that is so emotionally charged.”
I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don’t have the stomach for it.”
