Staind singer Aaron Lewis apologized for messing up the National Anthem before Game 5 of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals.
Lewis mixed up several of the songs lyrics.
His apology read:
“All I can say is I’m sorry and ask for the Nation’s forgiveness. My nerves got the best of me and I am completely torn up about what happened. America is the greatest country in the world. The Star-Spangled Banner means so much to so many, including myself. I hope everyone can understand the intensity of the situation and my true intent of this performance.
“I hope that the Nation, Major League Baseball and the many fans of our national pastime can forgive me.”
