Pop singer Leona Lewis was hit in the head Wednesday (Oct. 14) while she was signing autographs for fans.
The 24-year-old was hit by a man at a bookstore while she was promoting the release of her autobiography.
Her publicist issued a statement on Facebook that said “Leona was the victim of an unprovoked attack this afternoon at her book signing. The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought. Leona is understandably shaken and apologises to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings.”
According to the Associated Press, a 29-year-old man was taken into police custody, and his motive is unknown.
Lewis became famous in 2006 when she won the U.K. talent show “X Factor,” which is similar to “American Idol.”
Her hit songs include “Bleeding Love,” ‘I Will Be” and “Better In Time.” Her autobiography titled Dreams will be in stores Thursday (Oct. 15).

Lord, please forgive me for what I am about to say… But, maybe it was a good thing that she got knocked up-side the head; because nobody knew that she had a new book coming out… Now the whole world knows and she will probably sell a lot more copies of the book, because of the man the hit her… But I know that she didn’t deserve to be hit, but I am sure that she will become a richer women for her pain!
