OneRepublic drummer arrested

Drummer Eddie Fisher of the alternative rock band OneRepublic was arrested in Denver this week on suspicion of assault, disturbing the peace and destruction of private property

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the musician was taken into custody but he had no details on the circumstances of the case.

Fisher, 38, grew up in Southern California, but his band has spent recent years based in Colorado.

OneRepublic's frontman and composer is Ryan Tedder, who has also gained notice as a songwriter for other artists, such as Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff.

The group has scored hits with the songs "Stop and Stare" and "Apologize", the latter selling a record-shattering 4.3 million digital downloads in the United States alone, the most ever for a single in America. "Apologize" also went platinum in other countries and broke airplay records in Britain.

The band's first album, "Dreaming Out Loud," debuted in 2007, followed by "Waking Up" in 2009.
