Grennan received a great deal of support on social media. TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal tweeted "Get well soon mate" while DJ MistaJam wrote "Sending love bro".

Comedian Jason Manford also tweeted: "Sending love to Tom Grennan, get well soon and hope the a*******s are caught and prosecuted."

Grennan originally had a breakthrough when collaborating with Chase & Status on their single All Goes Wrong which was later used as the theme song for Sky TV show Bulletproof.

He has since been nominated for two Brit Awards including British Song of the Year in 2021 but lost out to Adele's Easy on Me.

Last year, Grennan scored his first UK Number One album with his second studio album, Evering Road.

The album spawned the hits By Your Side and Don't Break the Heart and received critical acclaim.
