Disturbed Frontman Apologizes For Calling Out Texting Fan
A few days ago, Disturbed frontman David Draiman made headlines for humiliating a fan for texting during his band's performance. It was later revealed that the target of his word-hate, a mom, was attempting to reach her daughter to make sure she arrived home safely after a storm. Not a good look.
In a new interview with Loudwire, Draiman has apologized, explaining just why he did what he did. He told the publication:
"You know when I did what I did, it wasn’t me trying to push her away. It was a matter of me trying to engage her. It’s what I’ve done for years and in most circumstances if there is someone who is being passive. They respond positively, ‘Oh, he acknowledged me. He’s really watching. I will get into it and he’s actually paying attention to me,’ and they become more involved. It’s very unfortunate that it backfired obviously with her."
