The Lithuanian producer Ten Walls has apologized for posting homophobic statements on his Facebook page as he referred to members of the LGBT community as “people of different breed.”
“I remember producing music for one Lithuanian musician, who tried to wash my brain that I don’t need to be so conservative and intolerant about them,” Ten Walls wrote. “When I asked him ‘what would you do if you realized that your 16-year-old son’s browny (anus) is ripped by his boyfriend?’ Well he was silent.”
Ten Walls' Facebook posts have since been deleted and has apologized for former posts in his account. Ten Walls wrote “I am really sorry about its insulting content which does not reflect my true opinion. I hope this misunderstanding will not provoke any more thoughts and opinions. Peace.”
In response to these comments, the dance music community responded by canceling his upcoming show with DJ Fort Romeau, Sonar, Creamfields, Urban Art Forms and Pitch festivals.
The Chemical Brothers applauded Creamfield's decision to remove Ten Walls from the lineup:

Do you think these Facebook posts cost Ten Walls his career?
