Earle goes to rehab, postpones tour

The announcement follows an incident last week at an Indianapolis nightclub where Earle allegedly damaged the dressing room after on-stage interactions with fans - the effect of which was unclear on Earle. He was later charged with two counts of battery with injury, one count of resisting law enforcement and one count of public intoxication. Earle allegedly hit a woman, who was the daughter of the club owner.

"Unfortunately, reports surfacing online about the incident in Indianapolis are not accurate. I have been advised by counsel that I should not comment on a pending criminal matter, but suffice to say that I am looking forward to having my day in court. I would also like to say that I oppose violence against women in any form."

Earle just released his third album, "Harlem River Blues," earlier this month.
