HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Train frontman Patrick Monahan is weighing in on news that one of the band's songs may have played a part in Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's Christmas Day fight.
"I'm pretty sure that Drops of Jupiter is a positive part of Charlie Sheen and his daughter's relationship," Monahan posted Monday on Twitter, shortly after a released police report suggested the hit 2001 track played a role in the actor's domestic abuse case. "Just gonna look at it that way."
Sheen reportedly told authorities that he and his daughter shared an interest in both astronomy and "Drops of Jupiter," so he purchased two tracking telescopes "so they could both look at the same point in the universe at the same time, as a way of staying connected."
A fight then broke out after an upset Mueller allegedly told Sheen: " 'You have a song [that] you share with your daughter, but not one with me?' "
Sheen pleaded guilty last Monday to a misdemeanor assault charge in the domestic abuse case. He was sentenced to 30 days in a rehabilitation center, 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management.
