RonJonSurfer Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Keane singer Tom Chaplin goes into rehab LONDON - A planned U.S. tour by Keane has been postponed while singer Tom Chaplin is being treated for drug and alcohol addiction, the British band said Tuesday. In a statement posted on the band's Web site, Chaplin, 27, said he was "having to deal with an increasing problem with drink and drugs, and the time has come to get the professional help I need to sort myself out." The tour had been due to start in Chicago on Sept. 7. "I feel desperately disappointed to be letting down our fans, but I want to get myself right now so that I can be back on the road for the rest of the year," Chaplin said. Keane had already canceled several appearances, citing Chaplin's "exhaustion." The trio released their melodic debut album, "Hopes and Fears," in 2004. Their second album, "Under the Iron Sea," entered the British album charts at No. 1 when it was released in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 He seems like a nice enough guy, not like the typical obnoxious rock star. I hope that he will be able to work through his problems successfully. Perhaps they'll also treat him for osteoporosis since he slouches all the time. Maybe that will straighten him out.
