This just in: Due to injuries sustained in a apparent attack early Monday morning in Manhattan, singer Gavin DeGraw ("I Don't Want to Be") will not be opening the Maroon 5-Train show Friday at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater.

Here’s the statement from DeGraw’s publicist:

“Gavin DeGraw is currently recovering and in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital where he was taken . . . by ambulance after he was attacked by a group of assailants. He suffers from a concussion, broken nose, black eyes, cuts and bruises. The police are conducting an investigation of the attack.

“Gavin and his family appreciate everyone's concern at this time.

"As a result of Gavin’s injuries, he won’t be performing in Wantagh, NY on August 12 or Mansfield, MA on August 13.”
