DJ Fat Tony revealed shocking facial injuries after being knocked out at a gig this weekend. The music star, real name Tony Marnach, 57, took to Instagram to show off a painful looking black eye and swollen face. Marnach, close pals with Gemma Collins and Kate Moss, performed at Lido Leisure Centre in Margate just after 1.15am on Saturday.
Kent Police told the Standard it had launched an investigation but said no arrests have been made. Marnach said in a video message to explain a cancelled Saturday gig at London venue No90 Hackney Wick: “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.”.
On Sunday, Marnoch gave an update on his condition saying he was in “a lot of pain and (his face is) swollen”, as he gave thanks for the “outpouring of support”. He also said he was at home with his dogs and partner Stavros Agapiou, where he was being “looked after”.
