This is the erratum to the Letter [R.A. Konoplya, Phys. Lett. B 666 (2008) 283]. The formulas (18)–(20) are corrected, though the conclusions of the work have not changed. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In [1] Eqs. (18)–(20) should read as follows:

As a result Fig. 3 in [1] is slightly corrected, see Fig. 1. This does not effect neither any other part of the article [1], nor physical conclusions related in [1].

Fig. 1. The growth/damping rate γ as a function of the dimensionless parameter B M for massive scalar field:  = m = 1, n = 0, a = 0.1, μ M = 0.1 (left), μ M = 0.05, μ M = 0.01 (right). One can see that there is no superradiant instability for cases μ = 0.1 and 0.05 as for those beyond the inequality (20). The superradiant instability growth rate, plotted in the right figure, is shown to be increased by a few times because of the presence of the magnetic field.
