Read Hughes original post criticizing the protests below: Looking directly into the camera, he delivers his apology:

In his new video, the singer seems to have had a change of heart. Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan tweeted, “When I think of the good times we've had in the past it f***s my heart to see how far off the rails you've gone. The post caused a massive controversy, which is not unfamiliar to Hughes, and drew the ire of his peers. Hughes, who was onstage performing during the terrorist attack at the concert venue Bataclan in Paris in 2015, accused the hundreds of thousands who marched in solidarity with the survivors of the Parkland school shooting in Florida of being 'disgusting vile abusers of the dead' in a since-deleted Instagram post with an offensive anti-gun control cartoon. Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes has posted an apology after he blasted the student gun protestors of the March For Lives and Never Again movements last week, saying his comments were 'intended to be a statement about the hijacking of any side of the aisle of the beautiful agenda of the movement of our nation’s youth' and that he was truly sorry.
