It may be easy publicity but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have been 
done. I certainly don't think the publicity is "the only reason he did 
it". Surely the fact that it's the right thing to do *and* there's good 
publicity is more likely!

Apologies cost very little but can mean a lot to some people (such as 
relatives and those who revere him and his work) so if there's no reason 
not to apologise, why not do it?

The full statement is here by the way:
