The news of Wallen’s removal from SNL came after photos and videos of Wallen partying maskless at various bars near the University of Alabama surfaced on the web. Several videos also showcased the superstar kissing a number of women and riding in cars with college students.

In his video, Wallen explained that he plans to step away from the spotlight for a bit to “work on me.”

“I’d like to apologize to SNL, to my fans, to my team for bringing me these opportunities, and I Iet them down,” Wallen continued. “And, on a more personal note, I think I have some growing up to do. You know, I think I’ve lost myself a little bit. I’ve tried to find joy in the wrong places, and, I don’t know, it’s left me with less joy.”

The CMA New Artist of the Year nominee said that SNL execs plan to reschedule his appearance on the show, however, at this time, no date as been set.
