BERLIN // Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am was being investigated by authorities in a nightclub brawl that broke out at an after-show party, police said Friday.

Will.i.am, whose real name is William Adams, was allegedly part of a fracas that broke out early Thursday at Berlin's downtown 40seconds club, said police spokesman Ronny Frank.





From what police know, a fight broke out about 1:30 a.m. Thursday between the club's doorman and the group's bodyguard, Frank said.

"A champagne bottle was used, but as far as what the singer did, there are various reports that contradict one another, and it's not yet clear what happened," Frank said.

All three men were taken into custody for statements and contact details and then released, he said. Police were investigating all three on possible charges of causing bodily injury and causing serious bodily injury.

Police did not release the names of the doorman and the bodyguard.

There was no immediate comment from the Black Eyed Peas, and no statement was posted on their Web site Friday, tabloid newspaper B-Z reported. The Black Eyed Peas were scheduled to play in Montreux, Switzerland, on Saturday, and it wasn't clear where they could be contacted for comment.

According to the newspaper, the band and their entourage had packed the VIP section of the club, but their bodyguard kept waving in more people.

Club manager Torsten Schermall said the fight broke out after his security guard told the bodyguard not to let any more people through.

"He didn't pay any attention," Schermall was quoted as saying.

Photos published by the newspaper included one photo of the doorman -- blood covering his face -- grappling with the bodyguard.

Many bottles and glasses were thrown around, the newspaper said.

"It was a witches' cauldron," 26-year-old actress Romina di Lella, who was in the VIP area, said. "I haven't ever seen anything so brutal. They were at each other for five minutes."
