In a recent social media outburst, US rocker Ryan Adams declared Australia the “worst country ever” following a tumultuous tour. His comments reshaped the narrative around what was intended to be a celebratory series of concerts for the 25th anniversary of his debut solo album, “Heartbreakers.”

Controversial Comments Post-Tour

Adams wrapped up his tour on Saturday with a performance at the Bruce Mason Centre in Auckland, New Zealand. After a series of disappointing shows in Australia and New Zealand, he vowed never to return. His now-deleted Instagram post criticized Australian audiences, stating, “You are the worst people and you know it.” Adams attributed his negative experience to problematic interactions with fans during performances.

Unfortunate Events During the Tour

Adams faced backlash for leaving stages prematurely and delivering erratic performances. His behavior at a Melbourne concert on October 12 raised concerns, where he abruptly exited after venting about his ex-girlfriend, actress Mandy Moore. Some audience members felt his rants overshadowed his music, prompting one fan to express disappointment over his commitment to the show.
