Former Zutons guitarist Boyan Chowdhury injured in racist assault in Liverpool Boyan Chowdhury, a founding member and former guitarist of the Liverpool indie band The Zutons, was seriously injured in a racist attack in the Wavertree area of Liverpool on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred when Chowdhury asked a group of young males, believed to be in their late teens, to move away while they were smoking near him and his five-year-old son. The group allegedly began shouting racial slurs, including terms targeting his Bangladeshi heritage. After escorting his son to a neighbor's house for safety, Chowdhury was approached from the side and struck on the head with a weapon, believed to be a piece of wood. He instinctively turned and partially blocked the blow, sustaining a deep wound that split his forehead down to the skull. Chowdhury believes that without turning, the blow to the back of his head could have been fatal. He was treated in hospital and has since shared graphic images of his injuries on social media. In an interview with Sky News, the musician described ongoing fear, sleeplessness, and anxiety affecting his family, including his young son who was scared to attend school. He expressed frustration with how racism is handled in the UK and stated that the country is entering a 'really dark phase' due to divisive rhetoric. Chowdhury, proud of his immigrant roots, noted that he has faced racism throughout his life in Liverpool since the 1980s. Merseyside Police described the assault as 'abhorrent' and a hate-related crime, appealing for witnesses. Chowdhury, who played on The Zutons' Mercury Prize-nominated debut album and hits like 'Valerie' (later covered by Amy Winehouse), left the band in 2007 but rejoined for some reunion shows. He is now focusing on music, acting, and production while thanking his supportive community. The attack has drawn condemnation from police and anti-racism groups.

Zutons lançam single de “Back To Black” em homenagem a Amy Winehouse Quando os Zutons foram convidados a participar das comemorações do 25º aniversário do Live Lounge da BBC Radio 1, eles sabiam que só poderiam fazer cover de um artista. As sessões ao vivo são uma parte querida da produção da estação há anos, mas foi a apresentação de Amy Winehouse da música “Valerie”, da banda […]

Saw The #Zutons supporting Paul Heaton last night at the arena and they were brilliant. Need to listen to more of them again.

Best concert I've seen in Liverpool: Paul Heaton. We worked for the encore. It was Caravan of Love. He sang it like it was 1986. Spectacular. Band & support brilliant; shout out for Rianne Downey #Zutons superb @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social @riannedowney.bsky.social

Gig review: Paul Heaton + The Zutons at First Direct Arena, Leeds The singer-songwriter delivers a heart-warming mix of old and new songs celebrating his 40-year career.

Really chuffed that @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social liked my review of his fab gig with The #Zutons on Saturday night! Love @pronio.bsky.social’s photos too! www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/whats-on/art...
