Country singer Bailey Zimmerman has apologized after he allegedly left his New Mexico hotel room trashed while on his Different Night Same Rodeo tour.
Zimmerman, 26, is accused of causing more than $16,000 in damage to a hotel room at Sandia Resort and Casino in Albuquerque after he canceled his May 27 show that was scheduled at the resort, according to court documents filed in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court and obtained by The Independent.
A warrant was issued for Zimmerman's arrest last Thursday, though he has not been arrested.
The "Backup Plan" artist has since issued a statement regarding his alleged behavior, saying, per TMZ: "First things first, I want to apologize to the Pueblo of Sandia and to everyone at Sandia Resort & Casino. I never meant for any of this to come across as disrespectful. I am deeply sorry for my actions that transpired. I respect your community and the hospitality and appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to perform on Native Land. I take full accountability for everything that happened and I am sorry to anyone who feels hurt or disrespected."
Addressing the concert cancellation, Zimmerman apologized to his fans. "I am so sorry, you deserved better from me. I understand that being a musician comes with big responsibilities, both on and off stage, and I know that I fell short that day. I am reflecting on the disappointment and concern that I caused," he said, adding that he is "taking this legal matter seriously" and is "committed to doing the work necessary to learn and grow."
