When Description Source
2012 Skrillex stage-dived from a raised platform into the audience at a Los Angeles show and struck concertgoer Jennifer Fraissl. She later suffered a stroke, which she attributed to the injury. In 2018, a Los Angeles jury found Skrillex 35% responsible for the damages and awarded Fraissl $4.525 million overall, reduced by 15% because the jury found her partly responsible. Skrillex and his touring company were ordered to pay about $3.4 million combined. His lawyer disputed that Skrillex had physically struck her and said an appeal was being considered. Source
During Skrillex's Full Flex Express tour in Canada, proceeds donated by Skrillex funded music equipment for eight youth organizations through Bridges for Music. The charity's own report specifically identifies this as a Skrillex campaign. Source
