George Lazenby, best known for his take on James Bond in the 1969 film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, has issued an apology after he was accused of making “disgusting” comments.
During a recent onstage interview for the Australian tour, “The Music of James Bond”, which Lazenby is a part of, the actor offended a number of audience members at the Perth show.

Following the incident, Lazenby, 83, was removed from all of the tour’s future performances after Concertworks, the show’s production company, chose “to discontinue its relationship with Mr Lazenby.” The company added that they are “extremely saddened and disappointed” by Lazenby’s “language, comments and recollections” and that they have begun “a thorough review of the matter.” “These were his personal views and there is no excuse for this in today’s society.
