Chris Martin says sorry
CHRISTOPHER Martin has apologised to his fans in Nairobi, Kenya, for reported carjackings and robberies that occurred during his Big Deal concert two Saturdays ago. The show was held at Impala Club Cricket Ground.
“I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies to those affected by those criminals who targeted my awesome supporters who braved the inclement weather to come to enjoy and sing some sweet reggae music wid mi,” he said on Twitter.
The 32-year-old singer said he was suspicious of “shuffling” while performing and feels deep regret for what transpired.
Nairobi media described the event as a mugging party as thieves ravished through the crowd at Impala grounds, stealing cellphones and other valuables.
The event organisers, Umoja Splash Festivals, also apologised for the breakdown in security.
