Weezer Plays Coachella Amid Bassist's Wife's Arrest, Shooting

Weezer performed at Coachella on April 12, just days after bassist Scott Shriner's wife, Jillian, was shot by police during an altercation at their Los Angeles home and subsequently arrested for attempted murder. Despite the circumstances, the band did not address the incident during their set, focusing instead on their classic hits and a cover of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman'. The police incident occurred when LAPD responded to a hit-and-run, leading to Jillian emerging with a gun and being shot in the shoulder after refusing to comply with officers' commands. Following her release on a $1 million bond, Scott confirmed the band would still perform, stating, 'She’s alright.' Weezer's set was characterized as a nostalgic trip, performed without acknowledgment of the surrounding chaos, and they are scheduled for a UK and Europe tour later this summer. The situation surrounding Jillian's legal case remains uncertain as it could impact future plans for the band.
