Tony confided to his 402k Instagram followers about the incident: “I can’t really go into details but I was attacked last night at a gig, in the DJ box by another DJ funnily enough. It resulted in me being knocked out and taken to hospital and being in A&E all night. Obviously you can see the damage to my face and the swelling – it’s not good. I wanted to let you know I can’t be at my gigs today as I have been advised to stay at home and get well.”
“I’m absolutely gutted, I’m gutted this happened, I’m gutted that people choose violence especially when what we do comes from a place of love. I’m really sorry that I won’t be seeing you tonight but we will reschedule everything. Big love guys – I’m just gutted really gutted.”
He captioned the post: “LOVE ALWAYS WINS X I am devastated to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances I have no choice but to cancel tonight’s event at @number90bar @no90_events. I’m under doctors orders I need to rest and get better. I will be ok and I’m on the mend – but for now I need to take the doctors’ advice.”
“I know some of you have had this night out in your diaries for a long time and this is last minute – I really am so sorry. I will make it up to you all in the new year. Happy Christmas everyone, take care of yourselves. We will be rescheduling tonight’s event to January 25th. I can’t wait to see you all there and party together.
