"Tom is currently in hospital being assessed by doctors for his injuries which include a ruptured ear, torn ear-drum and issue with his previously fractured jaw.
"Despite this, Tom is in good spirits but needs to temporarily recuperate whilst doctors assess his ability to continue with his touring.
"Tom is desperate not to let anyone down, however we have taken the precautionary decision to postpone the Washington show tomorrow to a later date, with details to follow.
"We will update on future shows should changes need to be made. We wish to thank Tom’s incredible US fans for their support and understanding."
Grennan is scheduled to perform at the iconic Isle of Wight Festival later this year, before playing several other events across the UK throughout the summer.
