Sebastian Bach<\/a> has issued an apology after reports emerged that he engaged in a relationship with Christina Applegate when she was 17.<\/p>\n

Former Skid Row singer Bach made headlines last week following the release of Applegate\u2019s new memoir, You With The Sad Eyes, in which she shared that she\u2019d had a relationship with Bach when she was 17.<\/p>\n

In the book, she said it began when she ditched a pre-fame Brad Pitt<\/a> for the singer at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards. Pitt, she wrote, was \u201cnot surprisingly\u2026very mad at me,\u201d though the two settled their differences some years later. \u201cEventually, we agreed that I\u2019d been a child, and though he deserved much better, it was time to forgive the child who dumped him for the lead singer of Skid Row.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dead To Me <\/a>star also included a diary entry in her book in which she wrote of feeling \u201cout of control\u201d after learning that Bach had a one-year-old child at the time. \u201cWhat a dick\u2026 I had really started to like him,\u201d she wrote, per People<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Applegate\u2019s entry went on to say that she was grateful she hadn\u2019t slept with Bach, and didn\u2019t want to be his girlfriend, but was upset that he\u2019d spent the night at her house and \u201cbefriended\u201d her while having a long-term partner and child.<\/p>\n

Addressing her claims in a new interview with Billboard<\/a>, Bach said he was \u201cvery surprised\u201d when the headlines hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a single guy on tour, in a band, and I met a lot of girls and I apologise if I hurt her \u2013 if I hurt anybody,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re young you get thrown into the whirlwind of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, meeting a lot of people and you better hold on tight. It\u2019s like being on a roller coaster. It was a long time ago. If I hurt anybody, I apologise for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the same interview, he also touched on\u00a0his new role as the vocalist of Twisted Sister<\/a> in the place of frontman Dee Snider. Bach is set to take over Snider\u2019s duties for the\u00a0upcoming tour, which marks their 50th anniversary and first reunion in 10 years<\/a>, following\u00a0their retirement from touring in 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bach told Billboard that Snider had given him \u201chis blessing\u201d, and had \u201cjust explained that he was very, very happy being a grandpa, and the doctors told him he can\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like how the guys in my solo band are younger than me,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe same way those guys give me an extra shot of energy, I\u2019m kind of like the same thing to Twisted Sister.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sebastian Bach has issued an apology after reports emerged that he engaged in a relationship with Christina Applegate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-475319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
