Weezer just had a dramatic motherfucking week. Shortly before the beginning of the first Coachella weekend, Weezer were added to the bill. Then Jillian Lauren, wife of bassist Scott Shriner, was shot by LA police and arrested for attempted murder on Tuesday. Soon afterward, paparazzi caught up with Shriner, who reported that Lauren is OK and that the band’s Coachella set was still on. Sure enough, Weezer played Coachella on Saturday afternoon. During their set, they didn’t say anything about the shooting or the arrest. They did, however, say that there’s a Weezer movie on the way.
