The San Diego Padres have reinstated Art Romero, the DJ responsible for playing the wrong soundtrack when the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus was slated to perform the National Anthem at Petco Park last weekend.

"I’m extremely humbled and honored for the tons of support of individuals who truly know my character and for those who had no idea who I was but believed in me from the start," wrote Romero, who goes by DJ Artform, on Facebook. "I am extremely relieved that MLB’s thorough investigation concluded and found the truth behind this entire unfortunate event."

Last Saturday, in a matchup against the L.A. Dodgers, the chorus came onto the field to perform the Star-Spangled Banner to a backing track. But before they could begin, a recording of a woman singing the anthem was played on the stadium's system. Chorus members stood there as the recording was allowed to play in full, and then were subject to shouts of "you sing like a girl" from the stands.

Romero insisted it was an honest error but, understandably, there was concern the incident was a homophobic prank, but after an investigation by the Padres and Major League Baseball, chorus leaders accept that it was just an unfortunate mistake.

"We have every confidence in their findings and we know Major League Baseball will use this experience to further reinforce its policies of LGBT inclusion and acceptance both on and off the playing field," the group said in a statement. "It is our sincere hope that out of this incident comes good--and that’s to continue our national conversation about professional sports, professional athletes and the LGBT community."

The Padres have already invited the chorus back to perform the anthem on another night.

Below is Romero's statement in full:

Speaking from the heart got me this far, so I’ll speak from the heart again as this controversy comes to a close. First and foremost, I would like to personally thank the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus, MLB and the San Diego Padres for truly understanding what caused the error during the National Anthem.

I’m extremely humbled and honored for the tons of support of individuals who truly know my character and for those who had no idea who I was but believed in me from the start. I am extremely relieved that MLB’s thorough investigation concluded and found the truth behind this entire unfortunate event.

I would also like to thank the entire community for rallying behind me and signing the petition requesting reinstatement of my duties with the San Diego Padres. I have spoken to an executive within the Padres and, while details have not yet been discussed, have accepted an invitation to return and again provides services to the team. I truly hope we can continue to build bridges with and between the LGBT community and Major League Baseball, as well as athletics in general.

Once again, I am truly sorry for the incident that occurred and for all those negatively affected, the Chorus in particular. I’ve exposed my heart to the world and I appreciate you all rallying behind this San Diegan.
