The lead singer of Nickelback is being accused of beating the crap out of a furniture sales representative. In the lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Noah Morse claims that front man Chad Kroeger “punched [him] forcefully in the mouth” while outside of a Vancouver bar back in 2007. The alleged victim claims that the hit made him lose consciousness, suffer a concussion and caused extensive damage to his teeth including “one deadened front tooth… dislodged upper front teeth and permanent discoloration of more front teeth.” Morse also claims that the singer showed no remorse over the fight and is suing for a fistful of reasons including loss of income and medical expenses.

Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger was found guilty of drunk driving on Tuesday by a Canadian provincial judge. In June 2006, the rocker decided to drive his $175,000 Lamborghini at 160km/hour down a Surrey, Canada street with a blood alcohol content of .14. It’s highly fortunate that he didn’t end up killing someone or himself for that matter. Chad didn’t show up in court during his fragmented trial which was heard in Surrey in November and January. His lawyer has asked the judge to postpone sentencing until the appeal process has run its course but the judge declined. The singer is required to be in court for sentencing on May 1.
