“I’m not positive for Covid but my actions this past weekend were pretty shortsighted and they have obviously affected my long term goals and my dreams,” Wallen said."I respect the show’s decision, because I know that I put them in jeopardy and I take ownership for this.”He went on to apologize to the show, his team and his fans for disappointing them. Wallen added that on a “personal note,” he might have some growing up to do.
Wallen reiterated that he respected the show’s choice and said that “Saturday Night Live” executive producer Lorne Micheals was encouraging when the pair spoke. The singer thanked Michaels for telling him they would try to make up for the lost opportunity at a later date.
