Tony discussed the horrific incident yesterday, telling his 402k followers: "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.".
