In perhaps the most idiotic, career damaging comment in pop history, Blue singer Lee Ryan gave an insane response when asked about his thoughts on the terror attacks on New York. Ryan said, “What about whales? They are ignoring animals that are more important. Animals need saving and that’s more important. This New York thing is being blown out of proportion.” After other band members told him to shut up, Lee continued, “Who gives a f*** about New York when elephants are being killed?” Execs at Virgin were furious at his remarks and he has since apologized, pledging to donate profits from the band’s next single to the Twin Towers Fund.
