Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana was forced to apologise on Facebook, after saying that Adele beat Beyonce at the Grammy awards for the Album of the Year award because the latter more of a model than a singer.

“My intent was to congratulate Adele on her amazing night at the Grammies. My comment about Beyonce was regretfully taken out of context. I have the utmost respect for her as an artist and a person (sic),” Santana wrote on Facebook.

He had told the Associated Press earlier in the week, “I think that Adele won because she can sing, sing...  Beyonce is very beautiful to look at and it’s more like modelling kind of music—music to model a dress—she’s not a singer, singer, with all respect to her.”
