Maroon 5′s Adam Levine ‘horrified’ by Gavin Degraw beating

As you know, ‘Chariot’ singer Gavin Degraw was badly beaten in New York on Monday and members of Maroon 5 have been quick to show support for their friend who had opened their Connecticut concert just hours earlier.

Gavin, 34, was brutally attacked by a gang at around 4am Monday morning after leaving a dinner date with friends on 6th Street and 1st Avenue in New York’s Lower East Side. He tried to walk home after the attack but was knocked down by a cab about six blocks from the scene.

“Gavin is currently recovering and in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital where he was taken late Sunday night,” says his rep. “He suffered concussion, broken nose, black eyes, cuts and bruises. The police are conducting an investigation.”

Gavin will be unable to play the next leg of the tour in Saratoga Springs and Maroon 5 have let fans know they will miss his support.

“The band was horrified to hear what happened to Gavin and sends their best wishes to him for a speedy recovery,” says a rep for the group.

Maroon’s front-man, Adam Levine also told his twitter fans to help Adam recover;

“Please send your love to @gavindegraw tonight. We love you buddy. Get well and get back out here!”

Nikki Jean has taken Gavin’s place on the tour and will be filling in until he recovers. But due to the extent and depth of his injuries Doctors have no idea when that might be.
