On Monday, Run the Jewels were attacked onstage at SXSW by an audience member. During their set at Stubb’s yesterday, Killer Mike told the crowd that he had been diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff, NME reports.

Following the incident, he flew to Atlanta to see his doctor, who advised him to wear a sling. Mike refused. “I was like, ‘Doctor, I’m not leaving the road,’” he said. “The tour goes on!”

Before they performed “Banana Clipper”, El-P said, “Last time we did this song, it was interrupted. Let’s not let that happen again.” Killer Mike added, ”If you interrupt this song, we’ll beat the fuck out of you.”
