Abstract
In this short comment, we notice that the model-independent axion contribution to the graviton mass at just outside the Schwarzschild radius is completely negligible in GW150914. The modelindependent axion contribution to the graviton mass at the order 10−22 eV might be possible for merger of black holes of mass of order 2 × 1014 kg.
