He said,

"Eddie here. I'd like to apologise for everyone that came to the show tonight. I have no idea what happened. My voice was perfect until the moment I stepped on stage. I'm really, really sorry. I cannot express how grateful I am for the understanding and support shown by everyone in the crowd."
