India, Aug. 18 -- Michael Franti, the American singer and leader of Spearhead, has admitted to cheating on his wife seven years ago by inviting a younger woman to accompany him on a headline tour.

In a statement to his over 262,000 Instagram followers, Franti revealed a covert love affair that ended only after his wife discovered it. The Spearhead leader described the relationship as "the most regrettable mistake" and stated it was with an artist who travelled with him seven years ago.

"I broke my wedding vows, I broke my wife's trust, I broke her heart and for that I am deeply sorry for the pain my actions have caused her," Franti stated.

"My wife found out about it and to save my marriage, we ended the relationship."
