"What happened and why?\r\nThree days later, the shocking attack of Gavin DeGraw in NYC&amp;apos;s East Village remains shrouded in mystery -- but the New York Daily News reports that the violent incident had nothing to do with the &amp;quot;Chariot&amp;quot; singer&amp;apos;s fame.\r\n\r\nA source told the paper that police investigating the case believe DeGraw&amp;apos;s assailants had no idea that he was a platinum-selling singer who frequently attends high-profile celeb events in NYC and elsewhere. Robbery is not a suspected motive in the attack.\r\n\r\nIndeed, a source close to the singer tells Us Weekly: &amp;quot;These guys jumped him from out of nowhere. It&amp;apos;s weird because they didn&amp;apos;t take anything, I think they did it for sport...Gavin is shocked and his family is devastated.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Honestly, I don&amp;apos;t remember much,&amp;quot; DeGraw, 34, tweeted Tuesday, when he was discharged from Bellevue Hospital. He suffered a concussion, broken nose, black eyes, cuts and bruises from the incident, which occurred after a night out drinking with pals; after stumbling off from the attack, DeGraw was then hit by a taxi.\r\nAs he recuperates at home in Manhattan, DeGraw had to cancel two upcoming concerts next week in Wantagh, NY and Mansfield, MA."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
