Weezer Performs at Coachella While Bassist's Wife Faces Attempted Murder Charge

The band delivered a crowd-pleasing set days after Jillian Lauren's alleged police confrontation and arrest in Los Angeles.

  • Weezer played a surprise set at Coachella on Saturday, drawing a large crowd and focusing solely on their music despite recent personal turmoil within the band.
  • Jillian Lauren, bassist Scott Shriner's wife, was involved in a police incident where she allegedly fired at officers and was subsequently shot and arrested on attempted murder charges.
  • The LAPD reported evidence, including video footage and shell casings, supporting claims that Lauren ignored commands to disarm before firing her weapon.
  • Scott Shriner confirmed his wife is 'doing alright' but avoided commenting further on the ongoing legal investigation.
  • Lead vocalist Rivers Cuomo acknowledged the emotional weight of the week during the performance but kept the focus on the music, with no direct mention of the incident.
