Weezer to Perform at Coachella Following Police Shooting Involving Bassist's Wife
Weezer's bassist Scott Shriner confirms the band will perform at Coachella despite ongoing controversy involving his wife, Jillian Lauren, after a police shooting.
Overview
Weezer's scheduled performance at Coachella remains unaffected by the recent shooting of Jillian Lauren, wife of bassist Scott Shriner, by LAPD during a hit-and-run manhunt. Lauren, armed with a handgun, allegedly pointed it at officers and was shot in the shoulder on April 8, resulting in her arrest for attempted murder. She was not involved in the original hit-and-run. After treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, she was released on a $1 million bail. Scott Shriner confirmed he will perform at Coachella on April 12, despite the situation, while Jillian's public comments on the incident remain absent.
