Boyan Chowdhury, a founding member and former guitarist of the Liverpool indie band The Zutons, was seriously injured in a racist attack in the Wavertree area of Liverpool on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred when Chowdhury asked a group of young males, believed to be in their late teens, to move away while they were smoking near him and his five-year-old son. The group allegedly began shouting racial slurs, including terms targeting his Bangladeshi heritage. After escorting his son to a neighbor's house for safety, Chowdhury was approached from the side and struck on the head with a weapon, believed to be a piece of wood. He instinctively turned and partially blocked the blow, sustaining a deep wound that split his forehead down to the skull. Chowdhury believes that without turning, the blow to the back of his head could have been fatal. He was treated in hospital and has since shared graphic images of his injuries on social media. In an interview with Sky News, the musician described ongoing fear, sleeplessness, and anxiety affecting his family, including his young son who was scared to attend school. He expressed frustration with how racism is handled in the UK and stated that the country is entering a 'really dark phase' due to divisive rhetoric. Chowdhury, proud of his immigrant roots, noted that he has faced racism throughout his life in Liverpool since the 1980s. Merseyside Police described the assault as 'abhorrent' and a hate-related crime, appealing for witnesses. Chowdhury, who played on The Zutons' Mercury Prize-nominated debut album and hits like 'Valerie' (later covered by Amy Winehouse), left the band in 2007 but rejoined for some reunion shows. He is now focusing on music, acting, and production while thanking his supportive community. The attack has drawn condemnation from police and anti-racism groups.
