ARLINGTON – Country singer Ingrid Andress said she was intoxicated and plans to enter a rehab facility following her performance of the US national anthem prior to the Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Home Run Derby.
“I’m not gonna (expletive) y’all, I was drunk last night. I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need,” the four-time Grammy nominee posted on July 16 on social media.
“That was not me last night. I apologise to MLB, all the fans and this country I love so much for that rendition.”
MLB has yet to comment on Andress’ words over social media or her rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on July 15 in Arlington, Texas.
The performance by Andress, 32, was widely panned, even drawing comparisons to Roseanne Barr’s infamous rendition at a 1990 San Diego Padres game. REUTERS
