Attila frontman assaulted mid-show, retaliates against wrong person

Attila's equally loved and hated vocalist Chris Fronzak was assaulted on stage last night in Perth and unfortunately retaliated against the wrong person.

Attila's equally loved and hated vocalist Chris Fronzak was assaulted on stage last night in Perth and unfortunately retaliated against the wrong person.

During the band's performance in Perth last night (the 18th), Fronzak was rather rabidly assaulted and pulled from the stage by one individual, and in turn, the singer retaliated. That's reasonable, Rou Reynolds from Enter Shikari reacted the same way when he was grabbed by a rabid punter recently. Except in this case, Fronzak returned the physical assault on an innocent fan by mistake, and not the actual culprit. Not long afterwards however, the singer issued a number of Tweets in which he explained to fans what had happened, apologised directly to the fan he had wrongly struck, and also called out the attacker with multiple euphemisms.

You can read the series of tweets from the singer below.
