HARRIS APOLOGISES FOR PERRY RANT
Scottish DJ CALVIN HARRIS has apologised to KATY PERRY for publicly criticising the pop star over his cancelled support slot on her U.K. tour, insisting he was "upset" and "didn’t intend to cause offence".
The Girls hitmaker was due to open for the singer at her concerts in Ireland and Britain, but Harris dropped out just hours before the first show kicked off in Dublin on Monday night (28Mar11).
The cancellation sparked a bitter war of words between the pair which played out on Twitter.com, with Harris claiming he pulled out of his slot because he was unhappy with the "s**t" production and Perry hitting back by responding, "It’s fine, I’m used to you cancelling on me, it’s become ur (sic) staple!" The DJ has now apologised to Perry for his harsh words and for airing his opinions in such a public forum, writing in a series of posts, "I am really sorry Katy Perry I’m just upset because I really wanted to play but ur (sic) team made it impossible. We tried really hard to sort it out, but playing side of stage for 30 mins, it seemed pointless me even being there. Didn’t intend to cause offence or upset anybody." And Harris revealed he wasn’t impressed by the reaction of Perry’s fans, who lambasted the DJ for falling out with the pop star.
He adds, "WTF (what the f**k) are Katy Perry fans telling me to kill myself on Twitter for? Seriously. I’m a producer making music. Leave me alone please thanks… The internet is a really depressing place sometimes.
"The whole KP (Katy Perry) stuff shd (should) never have been on Twitter, I was trying 2 (sic) handle it pro (professionally) behind the scenes but I won’t let myself get ripped (criticised) like that."
