The UK singer-songwriter Tom Grennan has reached out to fans after an attempted robbery in New York City after his headline show at the Bowery Ballroom. Grennan sadly had to postpone his show on the 22nd of April in Washington D.C as he receives treatment for the injuries he sustained. With a full US tour yet to complete, Tom Grennan has shown enormous bravery and determination to let his fans know that he plans on hitting the road and getting it done.
In an online statement via Twitter, John Dawkins (a representative of Grennan’s management) said; “Tom is currently in hospital being assessed by doctors for his injuries which included a ruptured ear, torn eardrum and issue with his previously fractured jaw. Despite this Tom is in good spirits but needs to temporarily recuperate whilst doctors assess his ability to continue his touring.”

With all that has happened, Grennan has made the time to speak out after the attack and let the fans know that he fully intends to return to his tour ASAP. Addressing his followers directly, Grennan stated in a heartfelt message; “You lot are my main priority and I don’t wanna let anybody down and I don’t wanna cancel this US tour” “The [last] 24 hours has been crazy; it’s been madness, to be honest with you. But I thought I’d come on here and let you know what actually went on.” He went on to confirm that he has in fact suffered a ruptured eardrum and a concussion after being knocked out, luckily his jaw was not damaged during the attack.
The Bedford born singer has claimed he is following up on the incident, stating; “I’ve filed the police report, the NYPD were great. Just wrong place, wrong time.” Remaining stoical in light of these events, he later said; “The show must go on and I’m gonna do all that I can to get to Boston and do the tour and see you lot. Thank you so much, it’s been incredible to see much people are showing love and support. I’m all good, promise you, I’m all good.” You can watch his video announcement down below:
