Aussie band Rüfüs Du Sol breaks silence after young mother beaten unconscious in horrific assault at California gig


Popular Australian band Rüfüs Du Sol has spoken after a young mother was savagely beaten when she accidentally spilled her drink on a male concertgoer.

Shelby Elston, 33, was preparing to watch Rüfüs Du Sol at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, when the stranger attacked her on Saturday.

Footage shows the unidentified man throwing multiple punches at Elston, as another woman attempted to hold him back. She was with her fiancé, Cain Webb, at the time.

“(I’m) still trying to find the words to describe exactly what happened to us last night,” Elston wrote on Facebook, saying she drove to see her “favourite artist” only to miss the entire show.

Elston explained: “As soon as we got into the venue … (we) grabbed a drink and sat down in our seats in the stands.

“The boys … went to the bathroom. When they came back Cain accidentally knocked his drink over that was sitting next to my leg and splashed a little bit onto that man in front of us.

“We immediately apologised, but this man started screaming in our face that we did it on purpose.

“He ran off into the crowd leaving his girlfriend behind.

“We again apologised to her for the drink incident and left it at that.”

Only 30 minutes later, the unidentified man returned clearly fuming. Elston said he got into her fiancé’s face, allegedly telling him he would “kill him” if it happened again.

“That is the last thing I remember before waking up in the medical tent an hour later,” she wrote.

“This man PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE! I was completely knocked out and there was blood pouring from my face. He continued to attack Cain while Ralph attempted to block him from the hits.”

The man ran off into the crowd, not to be seen again.

A report was made to Pasadena police.

Rüfüs Du Sol, which consists of Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt, later released a statement on Instagram.

“Delivering moments for our fans to gather and celebrate safely is what we live for. We have been heartbroken to hear of the act of violence that took place during the opening act on Saturday,” they wrote.

“This type of behaviour is completely unacceptable anywhere and the fact that this happened at one of our shows was devastating to learn about.”
