Hozier and Chilly Gonzales have both spoken out about their sides of the argument regarding the row over whether or not 'Take Me To Church' is a rip-off (and it anyone is getting sued).
Gonzales made headlines last week, when compared the similarities of Hozier's massive hit and Feist's earlier track, 'How Come You Never Go There?' - before Hozier's manager Caroline Downey then slammed the allegations as "groundless" and confirmed to the Irish edition of The Sunday Times that they will be seeking legal action.
Now taking to Facebook, Gonzales has taken a step back.
"I would like to fully retract any and all implication of copyright infringement in last week’s Pop Music Masterclass 'Take Me To Church' and sincerely apologize to Hozier, whose work I respect," he wrote.
Meanwhile, Hozier then made his stance clear - adding that he would not be suing as suggested.
"There has been some talk in the press of legal action and I'd like to clarify my position and the goings-on of the past week for fear that gossip runs unchecked, as it often does," Hozier said in the statement.
"What was sought from my end was an apology and redaction of an unfair inferral. This has been issued by Jason Beck (Chilly Gonzales), which I very much appreciate. I will continue to follow and respect his work and look forward to moving on from this issue. Jason Beck has been co-operative and understanding, and there are no hard feelings on my part."
