Oh dear, this can't be good

So up on Gruntland, they have an announcement posted that says that due to unforeseen circumstances, the tour they were arranging for 2003 has been cancelled. Three shows that had already been booked are having their tickets refunded.

At the same time, shows being played by the band involving the Grunts' bass player are also getting cancelled; an announcement from one of their representatives on the Gruntland message board says that this is due to illness in the band.

I'm rather worried about Mr. Garth Adam, now, since he is the gentleman the two bands have in common.

I am also wondering whether this has anything to do with Mr. Crowe having just gotten his ass kicked in England. Which I would find a non-zero possibility, but then again, Crowe cancelling his band's tour shouldn't affect a band he isn't in; a couple of the other Grunts have their own bands which quite happily wander around touring regardless of Crowe's schedule...

In summary, regardless, "awww bugger".

Yeah, I heard they were supposed to be opening for the Pretenders in Boston; that was actually part of the overall plan, some of the shows were going to be played with the Pretenders since apparently Chrissie Hynes decided they were cool. ;)

But this was a new development as of today so apparently the information hasn't finished disseminating yet, or something!

Some rich New Zealander guy, as I understand it, with whom Mr. Crowe has had previous altercations (allegedly over a woman). The story I read basically said that Crowe was out at a restaurant/pub somewhere in London, and already rather snockered; this guy comes along and apparently they just launched into one another. Crowe's minders found him getting his ass kicked in the loo, more or less. Cops came along to bust 'em up, but no charges were filed and no allegations of crime committed by anybody on the premises.
