Grennan suffered a ruptured eardrum, a torn eardrum membrane, and a problem with his previously fractured jaw as a result of the attack on Thursday, according to his manager.
In the aftermath of a performance in New York City this week, British singer Tom Grennan was taken to the hospital after a “unprovoked attack and robbery” outside a bar, according to his manager.
Following a performance at the Bowery Ballroom in Manhattan on Wednesday evening, Grennan was allegedly attacked “in the early morning hours” of Thursday “outside a bar in Manhattan,” according to the manager, John Dawkins, in a statement released Thursday evening.
In addition to a ruptured eardrum and a torn eardrum, Tom is currently in the hospital being evaluated by doctors for issues with his previously fractured jaw, according to Dawkins. “Tom is currently in the hospital being evaluated by doctors for his injuries, which include a ruptured eardrum,” she said.
With his Spring/Summer 2022 tour currently underway, the 26-year-old singer of the hit song “Little Bit of Love” is touring the country.
However, the statement continued, “Tom is in good spirits but will need to temporarily recuperate while doctors assess his ability to continue with his tour.” The show in Washington, D.C. on Friday has been postponed, according to the statement.
“We would like to express our gratitude to Tom’s devoted fans in the United States for their support and understanding.”
It’s unclear which bar the alleged attack took place outside of at this time.
The New York City Police Department told NBC News that it was not aware of any attack involving Grennan as of early Friday morning.
There is no report with that name in the department’s files, according to the department.
Photos from Grennan’s stop in New York City were shared on his official Twitter account earlier in the day on Thursday. ‘The big apple, you lot are magic,’ the caption read alongside the photographs.
