Singer had to postpone performance after being attacked during a robbery in New York

English singer Tom Grennan was attacked and robbed outside a New York bar.

The 26-year-old performed in Manhattan on Wednesday and was the victim of an “unprovoked attack” after the show.

According to his manager, he suffered a broken ear and a ruptured eardrum.

Grennan has now postponed his performance, which he was scheduled to play in Washington DC on Friday evening.

In a statement, his manager John Dawkins said: “Tom is currently being assessed by doctors for his injuries, which include a broken ear, a ruptured eardrum and problems with his previously broken jaw.”

“Despite this, Tom is in good spirits but needs to recover temporarily while doctors assess whether he is fit to continue his tour.”

The Little Bit Of Love singer is “desperate not to let anyone down” but his management team has made the “prudential decision” to postpone the Washington show to a later date.

The statement added: “We would like to thank Tom’s incredible US fans and their support and understanding.”

“We will update future shows if changes need to be made,” the statement continued.

Grennan was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award this year for the song Let’s Go Home Together, which he performs with Ella Henderson.

The Ivor Novello Awards recognize creative musical achievements in songwriting and composition, and also recognize a number of singer-songwriters and groups for their wider contribution to British music.
