Gruff Rhys has told MTV News that everything Bloc Party's Kele Okereke says about that previously reported attack by Lohn Lydon and his entourage is true. As previously reported, Okereke say Lydon and his associates assaulted him and made racist remarks after he asked the Sex Pistol if there'd ever be a Public Image Limited reunion. Commenting on the altercation, witness Rhys told reporters: "It was horrific. Kele is a very brave man and what he said is exactly what happened. The statements Kele has said are absolutely true. It did happen".
Another unnamed band who witnessed the attack also told Drowned In Sound: "It was total chaos. It got out of hand so fast. The Spanish security guards were total thugs. Our tour manager was put in a headlock after asking the security to let us go as we had a flight to catch to England. I managed to sustain a knee injury at some point which was remarkable given that I barely got involved".
