Hong Kong, July 16 (AP): Jackie Chan today apologised for his drunken disruption of Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jonathan Lee’s concert last week. The actor unexpectedly climbed on stage and verbally sparred with annoyed audience members.

Chan (in picture) was a scheduled concert guest last Sunday but showed up unannounced on stage the following evening.

His surprise appearance was filmed by an audience member, apparently by cellphone, and posted on the video-sharing website Youtube.com. After Monday’s incident, the Ming Pao Daily News quoted Chan saying that he was drunk.

Viewers yelled “pull him off stage”, “go away”, and “you’re so annoying”. Chan then responded with a Cantonese insult.

Preparing to sing, Chan motioned Lee’s band to start playing and then abruptly stopped the music with “shut up”.

He then walked up to one of the musicians and said: “You’re quite defiant, starting to play before I say ‘one, two, three’. Where are you from?”

The crowd eventually applauded after Lee and Chan start singing a duet.
