"There's been a lot of talk about the stepson of Hamish Harding, he's had a mixed response from the public," said Charlene before adding: "He's been posting tweets which he has now actually taken down regarding his step-father.
"He had been going to, a concert, he went to a concert, a Blink-182 concert, he had been tweeting about being at this concert but also asking people for their prayers and saying 'this is the way I cope as I want to go and see my favourite band play.'"
Charlene continued: "It comes under, I think, the umbrella of people deal with things differently and we can't expect everybody to react the same exact same way to every situation."

Before deleting his social media account, Brian admitted he knew some people would find his decision to go to the concert "distasteful" but tried to justify his actions.

Many people were outraged by Brian's post, including rapper Cardi B who slammed him for having a good time amid an ongoing family crisis.
