Over the weekend we reported on Basshunter’s outlandish behavior and train wrecked performance in New York. It had been announced by ravers straight from the dance floor that the Swedish singer, songwriter, record producer and DJ was “a little” too drunk and very disrespectful – I guess we all have our bad days? Regardless, yesterday Basshunter took to Facebook to apologize for one thing and one thing only, losing his temper. Throughout his essay he speaks to his consumption of alcohol and blames the venue for several technical issues.
What caught our eye was when he claimed, “the only thing i feel i needed to apologize for was losing my temper with my Manager which i have done and we are cool.” What about the fans? To our knowledge his set was cut extremely short and over all many people had stated their displeasure with his performance – as we mentioned in our original article.

“Hi Guys, Just wanted to clear up some of the things i have seen posted online after the show in NYC last Saturday. Firstly, the problem was the venue had technical issues with both the Mic’s and stage monitors, Luminox the other headline act had the same issues too. The crowd on Saturday were great and understanding to the technical issues at the start of the set and sang along to all my songs. Yes i drank a bottle of beer in one go on stage and have done over 100 times all over the world and had a few drinks before my show as i have done since i started touring over 8 years ago. I did lose my temper, but i never hit anyone, the only thing i feel i needed to apologize for was losing my temper with my Manager which i have done and we are cool. So here is to more BASS and more beer’s being drunk on stage, Much Love, Basshunter.” – (Basshunter’s Facebook)
