Some of its details are misrepresented; some are exaggerated; some are outright false. I would never have inappropriate interactions with someone I thought was underage. Period.'

'There are no words to express how bad I feel about the ways I've mistreated people throughout my life and career,' he said. 'All I can say is that I'm sorry. It's that simple. This period of isolation and reflection made me realize that I needed to make significant changes in my life.
'I've gotten past the point where I would be apologizing just for the sake of being let off the hook and I know full well that any apology from me probably won't be accepted by those I've hurt,' Adams continued.
The singer and guitarist added in his statement that he had sought out professional help to get sober in the wake of the allegations.
