DJ Fat Tony, born Anthony Marnoch, has sustained facial injuries following an attack during a gig last week. Marnoch shared details of the harrowing incident on Instagram, revealing the extent of the violence.
Recounting the incident on his Instagram page, Marnoch said: “I was attacked last night at a gig, in the DJ box by another DJ funnily enough which resulted in me being knocked out and taken into hospital. I’ve been in A&E all night. Obviously you can see by the damage to my face, the swelling, it’s not good.
“I just want to let you know that I can’t, obviously, be at my gig today. I’ve been advised to, obviously, stay at home. I’m absolutely gutted, I’m gutted that this happened. I’m gutted that people choose violence, especially when what we try to do comes from a place of love.
