Egypt's airport customs agents couldn't let Grammy Award-winning musician Bryan Adams depart the country without leaving their mark. Apparently, someone from Egypt's airport customs, who clearly doesn't know anything about vintage instruments, scribbled some text in green paint marker on Adams' 1957 Martin D-18 guitar.
You can only imagine how angry he must've been when he first saw the green paint on his vintage baby. Despite all that happened, Adams said he would return to Egypt for another performance.
"TO ALL MY EGYPTIAN FANS: Thank you for writing about the guitar, I really appreciate it, it will be fixed no problem. I want you all to know that I love your country and we had an amazing time there, we felt at home. The incident of defacing our instruments at airport customs is annoying, but it needed to be said. Much love to you all and look forward to bringing my family to visit you one day soon....next time no green markers please!" Adams said in a Facebook post.
People on Twitter have not failed to get social with Adams' about the incident:
Some tried to convince him that once an Egyptian mark has been made on his instrument, he will be forever blessed ...
While others apologized and complimented the way he dealt with the situation ...
And some took the apologies a bit too far ...
While others had to integrate a bit of Oscars' humor into their tweets ...
Surprisingly enough, this is not the first time this has happened to the singer. In 2015, Adams experienced a similar incident with Air Canada, who had written a serial number in black ink across his instrument.
