Bryan Ferry has apologised for his comments about Nazi icons and rallies.
The singer described the regime's marches as "just fantastic" in an interview with German paper Welt Am Sonntag, a remark which provoked a mass public reaction.
"The way that the Nazis staged themselves and presented themselves, my Lord! I'm talking about the films of Leni Riefenstahl and the buildings of Albert Speer and the mass marches and the flags -- just fantastic. Really beautiful."
Now Ferry has apologised for the remarks, and emphasised that he has no sympathy for the Nazi regime and is "deeply upset" by the reaction.
"I apologise unreservedly for any offence caused by my comments on Nazi iconography, which were solely made from an art history perspective. I, like every right-minded individual, find the Nazi regime, and all it stood for, evil and abhorrent."
