An emotional Dennis Rodman has broken down and apologised upon his return from a controversial trip to North Korea, where he sang "Happy Birthday" to regime leader Kim Jong-un.
The former NBA star was widely criticised for refusing to bring up human rights abuses or the plight of a US missionary detained in North Korea during his week-long visit.
Rodman said he wanted to "show people that no matter what is going on in the world, for one day ... not politics, not all this stuff ..." before launching into an apology.
"I am sorry. I am not the president. I am not an ambassador. I am Dennis Rodman. Just an individual, just showing the world the fact that we can actually get along and be happy for one day," Rodman said, before his voice broke and he put his hands to his face.
