“However, in 2019 I had a case of vertigo and this has continued throughout the pandemic. A team of five is needed to help me during book signings. We couldn’t find a safe way to complete what I needed while the virus raged. During the pandemic it was impossible to sign anything, and vertigo didn’t help,” he continued.

“With the contractual deadlines, the idea of ​​using a machine was suggested, as well as the certainty that this is done ‘all the time’ in the literary and arts world,” completed the musician.

Through social networks, the publisher Simon & Schuster also apologized and stated that he will refund all cheated customers.
