He absolutely would have been better off saying nothing, that statement was awful. Using the Shaggy defence in 2026 as a grown adult is ridiculous.
His support acts and band dropping out in solidarity makes him look even more like a shit head. Specifically using the words 'I'm not complicit' make him sound like a baby throwing his toys out of the pram. In genocide, neutrality is complicit. And all the shit about a-political - no your not, you've done Ukraine fundraisers, vocally supported Jeremy Corbyn, campaigned for changes in Music education in schools, campaigned for LGBTQ causes. All political.
