Keane just had to scrap their US tour because singer Tom Chaplin has entered rehab. They cancelled a few recent dates citing Chaplin’s “exhaustion,” but surely they knew that LiLo has officially, um, exhausted that word as a viable excuse. All kidding aside, I love Under the Iron Sea, and hope that Tom gets himself sorted out. Are there any rock stars left that can party without going full-bore gonzo crazy? God, imagine if someone had shown him crystal meth…
