Iconic singer Tony Bennett Wednesday apologized - again - for his controversial comments on The Howard Stern Show, in which he said the United States was responsible for the attacks on September 11, 2001.

"They flew the plane in, but we caused it," Bennett, 85, told the King of All Media Monday. "We were bombing them, and they told us to stop."

Bennet’s first apology came late Tuesday; he issued a statement that read: "There is simply no excuse for terrorism and the murder of the nearly 3,000 innocent victims of the 9/11 attacks on our country.
