The lead singer of popular heavy metal band Lamb Of God has revealed how he was horrifically assaulted by a gang here last night.

Randy Blythe said that up to five men attacked him while he was out in Dublin.

The Virginia rocker claimed that they ran up to him from behind and punched him in the back of the head.

The 44-year-old alleged that one of the scumbags shouted: “Welcome to Dublin” during the ordeal.

Blythe was speaking tonight at the band’s gig at Dublin’s 3Arena.

He dedicated their hit 512, he sent a message to his alleged attackers.

Blythe said: “This is for the five kids who jumped me, I hope you get your f**king heads kicked in.”
