Swardson's tweet was in response to a TMZ Report that he was escorted off stage after facing the audience Sunday at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Colorado.

In the video, participants can be heard discussing their discomfort and later observed that Swardson's microphone was turned off.

A man, who introduces himself as the venue's operations manager, appears and apologizes to the customers (some of whom are heckling). He also asks them to contact the ticket office for a refund.
“We apologize for what you saw tonight,” he said.
Neither representatives for Swardson nor the Vilar Performing Arts Center immediately responded Tuesday to separate requests for additional comment from The Times.
