By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 9 August 2010
Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley performed a gig this weekend despite doctors advising him to rest after he was assaulted during a pub brawl in Japan last week.
He received treatment for a slipped disc after being set on by three men in a bar, he still took to the stage at Japan’s Summersonic festival. A statement from the band said: “Despite doctor’s instructions, he has decided to play today’s show at Summersonic regardless”.
Japanese authorities are reportedly investigating the attack.
