Gavin suffered from a few injuries including "concussion, broken nose, black eyes, cuts and bruises" according to his spokesperson.

Upon release from the hospital on Tuesday Gavin is now in stable condition.

To assist his recovery, Gavin has decided to cancel a few upcoming tour dates and recuperate at home.

Domestic gigs with bands Maroon 5 and Train scheduled between August 14 to August 22 in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and one show in Toronto, Canada will be cancelled. Gavin is expected to rejoin the tour in Maryland on August 24.

Although unable to perform, Gavin displays a high level of appreciation for his fans. Their concern acts as a stalwart support system in his recovery.

The police are currently investigating the attack.
