Moby has thanked fans for their support following his injuries after being attacked in Boston last week. Writing on his website he told fans: "My face is kind of puffy and cut up and my lip is a bit swollen, but I'm actually ok, thanks. After 'Jackass' I believe that the slightly beaten-up scurvy pirate look is quite fashionable. So in some ways I should thank the courageous thugs in Boston (three guys with mace against me, a little in-bred muppet, very courageous) for helping me to achieve that tough-guy look that's hitherto been so hard for me to accomplish. But in all seriousness, thanks everyone very much for your concern. I'm still left quite confused as to why these guys wanted to attack me, but I guess they had their reasons."
Meanwhile the techno star has been forced to change hotels in LA after he discovered Eminem was hosting a party in the hotel he was staying in. Moby explained: "In the interest of personal security and what not I've moved hotels, just to be on the safe side. I really don't want to encounter 20 drunk Eminem friends / well-wishers at 2am in the morning as I'm heading out for a stroll around the neighbourhood. Call me paranoid, call me a woosie, but I'd rather err on the side of non-confrontationalism."
