Leona Lewis Talks About Bookstore Debacle
Making for quite the chaotic situation, songstress Leona Lewis was struck by a fan while signing copies of her autobiography, Dreams, at a London bookstore yesterday (October 14).
The singer had been signing autographs for about 90 minutes when her spokesman claimed, “A guy came up and punch her to the side of the head.” She didn’t need to go to the hospital but Lewis was “understandably badly shaken.”
Lewis then wrote on her Web site, “Thank you so much for your support it is truly overwhelming. Yesterday was a horrible shock and left me extremely hurt and upset. I’m very sorry to those I wasn’t able to meet at the signing. Thank you again for all of the lovely messages.”
Her rep also added that she was “shocked” but not “okay,” and that “Leona would like us to convey her thanks to all of your kind messages and your support.”
A witness said “[The attacker] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her. She was running out with her hand over her eye and I just saw a man on the floor.”
Waterstone’s bookstore said they were supporting any police investigation and thanked Lewis for acting so professional. The singer did pull out of BBC’s The One Show that night.
Lewis recently released a new single, “Happy,” from her sophomore album, Echo, due Nov. 17.
