Bailey Zimmerman is speaking out over the criminal charges he’s facing in New Mexico for allegedly destroying his hotel room.
The country star shared a public apology with TMZ on Tuesday to both the Pueblo of Sandia and his fans, who missed out on a concert after his New Mexico performance was canceled due to Bailey’s belligerent behavior during a sound check, which ultimately led to his removal from Sandia Resort & Casino.
Bailey says, “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.”
He adds … “To my fans who bought tickets and showed up expecting a performance, 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.
Bailey concludes … “I am taking this legal matter seriously. I am committed to doing the work necessary to learn and grow. Thank you to my fans for holding me accountable and for understanding that I am human. I do not take your support for granted.”
As we reported … Bailey was allegedly drunk before the show and trashed his hotel room, resulting in $16K worth of damages, a $400 unsettled tab for booze, and — most likely — a seriously pissed off 4,000 fans or so wanting to see him.
This apology by no means removes the criminal charges Bailey now faces … but maybe it will be a learning experience, as he says.
