Keane star in rehab

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin is being treated for drink and drug addiction.

The singer was initially said to be suffering from "exhaustion".

But in a message to fans on the band's website, Chaplin, 27, said: "I've been having to deal with an increasing problem with drink and drugs, and the time has come to get the professional help I need to sort myself out.

"I feel desperately disappointed to be letting down our fans, but I want to get myself right now so that I can be back on the road for the rest of the year."

Public-school educated Chaplin checked into a private clinic last week but managed to perform at the V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex, over the weekend.

According to The Sun, he is being treated in The Priory alongside Pete Doherty.

He has treated fellow patients to an impromptu solo gig on the piano, the paper reported.

Keane have cancelled appearances at the Ibiza Rocks festival, Edinburgh's T On The Fringe and Vodafone TBA in Dublin.

They have also postponed their US tour, which was set to kick off in September.
