The appearance of pop star Gavin DeGraw and the rock band Collective Soul was apparently too much to take Sunday for patrons of a bar in Myrtle Beach.

Prior to a show at the The House of Blues, the members of a tour stopped by "an unnamed watering hole" to celebrate the end of their co-headlining tour.

Instead, they caused a brawl that left them banned from the city for a year. And their thousands of followers on Twitter had a front-row seat for all of it.

"Me and my crew just got in a 20 man brawl with a group of juiced up [expletive]," DeGraw posted on his Twitter account immediately following the altercation. "I guess they think that just cos I write love songs that I....Won't throw down like a man. They were slow and drunk, but that woopin is gonna hurt worse than their hangovers. Goodnite to those......Douches!"

According to Collective Soul front man Ed Roland, the fight took place after a female bar-goer "made a comment to her boyfriend about either my brother or Gavin being a good-looking dude." Roland said the woman's boyfriend then "went for Gavin but got [his brother] Dean" in the face.

"First shot I've taken to the face," Dean Roland wrote on the Collective Soul Twitter account.

Luckily for deGraw and Collective Soul, their Monday night show was in North Myrtle Beach, which didn't present a conflict after police banned them from returning to Myrtle Beach.

But, for DeGraw, this is the second time he has faced difficulty in South Carolina.

Following a September 2008 show in Columbia, which DeGraw headlined, fellow performers Travis Barker and DJ-AM were the only survivors of a tragic six passenger flight that crashed on takeoff.  -PALMETTOSCOOP.COM
