Dillon francis is one of those people in EDM, where regardless of if you like his music, you have to appreciate him as a person and what he does.
It’s shocking to hear, while at a show in New Orleans, he was assaulted by one attendee who threw a can of RC Cola at his head. This resulted in Dillon needing stitches on his forehead and the night being ruined, due to the cut short set. 
However you may feel about an artist or their music, there is never justification to go to someone’s show and assault them like this. If you don’t like the artist, don’t go, and if for some reason you do, please don’t ruin the night for everyone else who wants to be there.
Thanks to whoever threw the RC cola can at my head in New Orleans omw to get stitches thx for ruining everyones night pic.twitter.com/hRkWa0Xr7w

And of course Deadmau5 jumped in to give Dillon some advice on how to avoid this situation in the future:

Update: Someone caught video of the event
Who the fuck drinks RC cola?
hope that man got his ass beat, by the people around him
Should’ve been diplo lol
Don’t be a bitch. Should of continued your set.
Peace. Love. Unity… RC COLA.
fuck you hershey
But really though I wouldn’t have thrown an rc cola(the cheap ass drinks that were provided to mix with Jim beam:P blah). I would have simply started screaming you should stop playing that poo poo kaka garbage you were spinning last night. All artists but floss at mad decent New Orleans were lacking. In all realism you should have just played better then you wouldn’t have gotten hit…..duh?
Royal Crown Cola. Seems like Francis got royally CROWNED. Thank God, because Davinci wasn’t cutting it for me. Props to Deadmau5 on this one for finally proving the protective uses for the Mau5 head. But a Molitov Cocktail might make things worse. I don’t know Dillon, but I wish him a speedy recovery, nobody should have to be injured while performing.
That guy had good aim.. I’d be ironic if Dillon was playing “headshot”
Probably a cheap way for RC Cola to advertise lmfao.
This is the worst blog post I’ve ever read in my life. *throws RC Cola*
Fans who attack artists aren’t fans at all.
God No!…Not an Rc Cola!!
God No!…Not an Rc Cola!!
What club serves actual full cans of RC Cola?
And also, hardcore bands/groups have stayed on stage with gashes on their heads, promising only to end if they pass out (Bury Your Dead, their Alive album after getting hit in the head with a guitar). Dillon should have asked for a towel and finished.
I want to feel bad because that’s not cool. Buttttt i just can’t stand Dillon Francis, had to sit through him twice during the mothership tour… I dropped more bass on my xylophone.
Aggrivating to see this about a venue in New Orleans. Always been a city great for hosting musicians.
Ah Bumbaklot! somebody should tie him to a pole and throw like ten cans at his head in return
that sucks, but maybe he should stop trolling the crowd from now on
He must have been a pitcher for the mlb. That’s ones gnArly cut
Agree shout of been diplo
Edm fans suck
:'( :'( :'(
No Francis, ya douche bag, you have ONLY yourself to thank for killing the show. You’re fine enough to thank the guy over the microphone in your valley girl tone. Shut the fuck up and start that mix back up, I don’t even like bitches talking’. Whoever threw the can is only a retard for choosing RC cola. lol idiot
Blame the EDM cheese fanbase, I don’t recall this type of disrespect happening before EDM train arrived. We respected our DJ’s regardless of what was playing.
damn sucks he prob hit his head on a fader and lied haha jk @ … Dillion Francis
Omg!!! That’s total product placement for RC Cola. Dillon Francis said RC Cola, now I want one. But kn a serious note, that’s fucked up. I bet everyone was looking for the dumb ass that threw it.
Es tut mir leid mein bruder… An outstanding artist like yourself does not deserve that. Whoever it was needs to be hit with an RC Cola vending machine.
Yeh have some respect for other people you jerk, throwing bottles around is just stupid.
I doubt the guy had vile intentions, probably just some drunkass. You were in the south after all…
More and more violent acts by the fans themselves in the past yr. it literally really does ruin the music ans experience for the rest of us
What a douche bag whoever threw the can. Also the title of this blog post is pathetically shameless in its attempt to get clicks.
Could the writer and this article be any more melodramatic? “Attacked” and “hospitalized by a fan” from a soda can?
There’s a good reason deadmau5 wears a mouse head while performing.lol
He acts like a princess.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Am I crazy or didn’t nearly the same thing happen to Skrillex?
Should of did that to queer boy Justin Beiber
I just hope me bae #Dillon recovers fast get well soon bae 🙂
dillon next time use Deadmau5 head it will be better
your a great talent. hope you feel better
it was that nigga gary richards
That sucks man! You killed it in Galveston.
Clearly he didn’t like it…
Smells like a marketing for RC Cola 😛
did anyone happen to get it on tape?
Should of kept playing!!
What kind of idiot fan…
What a sad day for music.
hope the can man is at the hospital..
U just never know what is going inside ones mind.Its hard being a artist recognized by the whole world.Allover its hard to have a famous life.The guy who did it showed that he doesn’t have love for others present there,,…#Shame on you whoever u are
What a pussy he did not even go after the guy he just looked for his mommy to kiss it and make it feel better >LOL just saying like have a sense of humour will you . What guy that is a real guy has never been punched in the face or worse.

Ouch…Maybe bc u promised them not to use the sync button and they saw u doing it. Real talk no one deserved to be treated like that. Next time just dont go to see his show, if u dont like him.
This guy along with skrill are some of the chillest dude’s in the game…why would anyone do such a thing…
funtcase got whacked in the back of the head with a chair and started bleeding but he finished his set
Wow ! EDM isn’t about that violent sh*t. Live P.L.U.R or stay home and throw your bi*ch fit!!!
poor Dillion but it happens to everyone at some point.
Big deal with RAP music they shoot guns at each other . LOL
Poor silly Dilly willy . Hey that was his Destiny LOL
Frankie Bones i am Dyin Ova Here you are the TRUTH !!!!
If dillon gets a sweet helmet too, It’ll be sweeeet
I’m surprised it wasn’t Diplo this time
Fuck New Orleans! That place is trash
Lol at these comments
Diplo blows
Lol New Orleans explains it all
Get better soon Dillon.
