Bob Dylan has issued a public apology after using a machine to “hand-sign” limited-edition copies of his new book.
In a rare statement, the 81-year-old music legend said it was an “error in judgement” to use a machine, blaming pandemic complications and vertigo for his decision making.
Writing in a Facebook post, Dylan said: “So, during the pandemic, it was impossible to sign anything and the vertigo didn’t help. With contractual deadlines looming, the idea of using an auto-pen was suggested to me, along with the assurance that this kind of thing is done ‘all the time’ in the art and literary worlds."Around 900 limited edition versions of Philosophy Of Modern Song were released at the start of this month, costing £495 each.
But question marks were raised about the "handwritten signature" after fans began sharing images online of the book.
