Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. is rumored to be in rehab. According to U.K. newspaper The Daily Mail, Hammond recently got into an altercation with his girlfriend, model Agyness Deyn.
"Agy [Agyness Deyn] and Albert had a big row before she came to London for Fashion Week," a source told the publication.
The source continued, "He's really cut up and his bandmates checked him into rehab last week."
It is unclear how drug or alcohol abuse by Hammond played into the scenario.
The Strokes are currently at work on their fourth studio album. No statement is available from the band on whether or not they will wait for Hammond to make it out of rehab before continuing work on the new album.
