Just before Savage was to start the next performance, Edwards reportedly made a mad dash from the stairs towards the stage, screaming at the DJ and Savage. The whole room fell silent. The mood had been so positive and uplifting. Now, nearly seven months later, Edwards has come forward with a post on Facebook, admitting his behavior was inappropriate and apologizing to all performers and patrons who were involved in or witnessed the incident that occurred that evening.

Once again I wish to apologize to those I have ever offended and treated poorly.
