Police say they started yelling at the musician that he should have played the song Wonderwall by Oasis, which they had requested.

Then one of the men headbutted the artist, and the other punched him in the face, resulting in bruising and swelling to his left eye, police said.

Police are urging anyone with information about the attack to come forward.
