“I want to note that last night, my team and I fielded a number of calls from concerned fans and colleagues wanting to know if I was OK. I really appreciate the concern and support, but I'm better than okay. As you can imagine there was a lot and there was some confusion around the door that my team and I had to enter. We experienced an overzealous security guard, but my team and I have every confidence that I will eventually be cleared of any wrongdoing. Until then, keep listening to 'Michael' and keep following your dreams,” read part of the statement.
