Sum 41′s front man, and former husband of Avril Lavigne, Deryck Whibley has been hospitalized in Japan after being attacked by 3 people last night at a bar.  The extent of his injuries are not known but his band mates Tweeted:

“unfortunately still in the hospital” and his pals are “waiting for results and hoping for the best.”

The band is not having the best of luck with their singer coming down with a severe case of bronchitis that threatened to ruin his voice.

The band is in Japan for the Summer Sonic Festival this weekend in Osaka and Tokyo. It’s highly unlikely they will play.

We wish Deryck a speedy recovery.
