Here is the recap: (Gibson) Gavin DeGraw has been released from Bellevue Hospital, following treatment for injuries sustained in a violent attack that occurred in New York City in the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning. DeGraw suffered a broken nose, a concussion and various cuts and bruises when he was beaten by a group of "marauding goons."

He is set to release a new album, titled Sweeter, on September 20. - more on this story
