DJ Fat Tony showed off shocking facial injuries as he revealed that he had been attacked at a gig this weekend.

The music star and LGBTQ+ activist, real name Tony Marnach, 57, took to his Instagram on Saturday to share a video message for his fans as he cancelled an upcoming gig due to his injuries.

He said: 'I can't really go into details but I was attacked last night at a gig, in the DJ box by another DJ funnily enough.

'It resulted in me being knocked out and taken to hospital and being in A&E all night. Obviously you can see the damage to my face and the swelling - it's not good. 

'I wanted to let you know I can't be at my gigs today as I have been advised to stay at home and get well.

'I'm absolutely gutted, I'm gutted this happened, I'm gutted that people choose violence especially when what we do comes from a place of love. 

'I'm really sorry that I won't be seeing you tonight but we will reschedule everything. Big love guys - I'm just gutted really gutted.'

He then penned in the caption: 'LOVE ALWAYS WINS X. I am devastated to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances I have no choice but to cancel tonight's event at

'I'm under doctors orders I need to rest and get better. I will be ok and I'm on the mend - but for now I need to take the doctors' advice.

'I know some of you have had this night out in your diaries for a long time and this is last minute - I really am so sorry. I will make it up to you all in the new year. Happy Christmas everyone, take care of yourselves. ❤️

'We will be rescheduling tonight's event to January 25th. I can't wait to see you all there and party together.'

On Sunday morning he then shared an update on his injury as he thanked fans for his support and told how his partner Stavros Agapiou was looking after him.

He said: 'Thank you for the thousands of messages of love and support I'm ok just in a lot of pain and and swollen but at home with @stavrosagapiou and the dogs being looked after I can't thank you all enough for the outpouring of support remember you can't keep a good man down x.'

Tony said in the clip: 'Just doing a quick face update, as you can see the swelling is coming down, I'm okay though. I wanted to say a huge thank you for all the messages I have received - I'm overwhelmed.

'Things happen in life - the police are doing what they need to do and the situation will be sorted but all I want to say is for now is thank you for the love and positivity.' 

Tony and Stavros got engaged last year.

Last October, Tony shared a sweet clip to Instagram looking thrilled when Stavros said yes after getting down on one knee in front of a fountain in Central Park.

He penned: 'When you find real happiness in life never let it go today I can truly say I'm the happiest I've ever been.

'I went to Central Park to this magical fountain and asked the man that has changed my life in so many ways and helped show me that I can be loved and how too love to marry me and make me complete and he said YES I'm so overwhelmed with joy.'

Meanwhile, his partner shared a loved-up snap of the pair in bed and wrote: 'Sunrise in bed with the FIANCÉ'
