Gym Class Heroes official apologizes for band's profanity

Tim Fennell, Del Mar Fairgrounds general manager, has issued an apology for "inappropriate language and behavior" used by Gym Class Heroes, the headline performers during Friday's opening day concert.

"We apologize to anyone who was offended by the band's language or actions," Fennell said in a statement Saturday. "It is our goal to provide a safe, fun, family environment, and this band's actions created an atmosphere we do not want."

Fennell could not be reached for comment Monday. No details were available on exactly what the band said or did that prompted the apology.

The notice states that the fairgrounds would enforce a penalty clause in the band's contract that prohibits profanity and inappropriate behavior.
