Headline: Carlos Santana apologises for 'insensitive comments' about transgender community
Caption: In a statement sent to Billboard on Thursday, the Smooth singer addressed the backlash he'd received after a video of him ranting at a July gig began circulating online. "I am sorry for my insensitive comments. They don't reflect that I want to honour and respect all person's ideals and beliefs. I realise that what I said hurt people and that was not my intent. I sincerely apologise to the transgender community and everyone I offended." In the video, Carlos could be heard talking to a crowd in Atlantic City, New Jersey about gender identity.
