It seems where James Arthur goes, trouble follows.
The former X Factor winner got into a fight while touring in Poland, Monday night, leaving him with cuts and bruises.
James certainly found the latest incident funny, as he tweeted a picture of his injured face with the caption: 'Polish bar brawls are the best'.

Worried fans inquired about his condition, to which he replied: 'don't worry I'm absolutely fine and in good health just a couple of bumps and scratches in a scuffle... Boys will be boys'.
This latest incident adds to growing number of very public outbursts and embarrassments made by Arthur, which no doubt contributed to the end of his record contract with Simon Cowell and Syco.
The 26-year-old singer was automatically signed to the label after winning The X Factor in 2012, and released his self-titled debut album in 2013. He was reprimanded in April after unveiling rap track Follow the Leader - which featured on his mixtape All The World's A Stage - on which he spouted the controversial lyrics.

He said: 'Look at what you do to me, I'm crying over stupid s**t, you're such a f**king homophobe, wish I'd never let you in, to think that I was thinking maybe I should let you live, I'm gonna blow up your family like I'm a terrorist.'
At the time, the Impossible hitmaker defended himself for using the sentence 'I'm gonna blow up your family like I'm a terrorist'.
James - who beat Jahmene Douglas to be crowned winner of the ITV talent show in 2012 - insisted the he had written the track from the point of view of a 'demented fan'.

In November 2013, James was also heavily criticised for using the word 'q***r' in a rap battle, and became embroiled in a text and Twitter argument with his fellow 'X Factor' contestant Lucy Spraggan.
In March 2013 - before the release of his mixtape - James likened himself to killer whale Tilikum suggesting he had been exploited like Sea World's captive animal.
Despite his various controversies, Simon Cowell publicly supported James in April and urged him to 'relax' and concentrate on making music.
