From People:
Singer Gavin DeGraw was assaulted early Monday in New York City and taken by ambulance to the emergency room.
DeGraw, 34, whose hits include “I Don’t Want to Be” and “Not Over You,” was in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital with a broken nose and cuts to his face, say police.
The assault took place at about 4:30 a.m. in Manhattan, police say. The New York Post reports he was out with friends when he was attacked by a “pack of thugs” on the street and then hit by a taxi as he stumbled away.
So … where were his friends when this all went down? Did they turn tail and take off like frightened rabbits when they saw their buddy’s face being turned into mincemeat, or did they get freaked out and run when they saw the taxi hit him instead?
I’m not a big fan of “I Don’t Wanna Be,” but no one – not even one who sings songs I don’t like – deserves this. Jeez.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Gavin!
