Take That legend Gary Barlow has apologised for firing confetti cannons during a concert in Cornwall.<\/p>\n

The singer was criticised by environmental campaigners about the misuse of single use plastics.<\/p>\n

Cornwall Against Plastic tweeted him to say they were "appalled to see plastic confetti littering the Eden Project". <\/p>\n

The Relight My Fire crooner apologised and cancelled all ticker tape at outdoor shows because "beyond the effect it just turns into litter".<\/p>\n

He was performing in front of a sell-out crowd on 6 June as part of a UK tour.<\/p>\n

Cannons were used to fire the ticker tape over the crowd during the show.<\/p>\n

The Eden Project has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

@GaryBarlow I was appalled to see plastic confetti littering the Eden project after your last gig there. What on earth was a plastic confetti canon doing there? In a place such as the Eden who are working so hard at getting rid of SU plastics<\/p>\n

Apologies to @edenproject for firing our confetti cannons. I hope this doesn\u2019t mean we won\u2019t be asked back? We\u2019ve cancelled all ticker tape at outdoor shows because the reality is, beyond the effect it just turns into litter \ud83d\udc4e<\/p>\n

Have you seen this @crowmogh? Wonder how long it will be before it\u2019s made it\u2019s way to the sea and we\u2019re picking it up @GaryBarlow. Come on, it\u2019s really not rocket science. #Plastic and #Cornwall are not happy bedfellows \ud83d\ude21 https:\/\/t.co\/gXuXaMSKpU<\/p>\n

Some fans refused to let the row take the shine off the gig.<\/p>\n

They responded to the star's apology by downplaying the environmental impact, saying they enjoyed collecting the ticker tape.<\/p>\n

Samantha Simmons said on Twitter: "Ticker tape is a lovely memory of the concert for fans!" and posted a picture of a memory frame she made from the concert.<\/p>\n
