Kids, how many times have we told you, it's okay to hate boybands, but it's NOT okay to try and kill them, as appealing as it might occasionally seem. Former East 17 frontman BRIAN HARVEY was attacked while leaving a nightclub last night, and apparantly the injuries were so bad that, as we type this, he's in surgery undergoing skin grafting. Early reports swirled with rumours that Harvey was attacked by thugs wielding MACHETES, but police have since downgraded the weaponry of choice, but NOT the severity of the attack - apparantly this was substantially more than your average pub bust-up, folks. We'll keep you updated if anything else major occurs with this one...
