Another photo she put on Instagram showed the bruises and cuts on her face.

In her posting she said: 'Was attacked tonight after the show in Brighton, along with my guitarist and wife. Sussex Police have been amazing and are pursuing a charge.

'Got a bit of whiplash and a few bruises but we're all good. Scary s**t, man. Be safe out there!'

A spokesman for Sussex Police confirmed today confirmed that two women from London had been arrested and interviewed about the attack. It was understood that they were released on police bail pending further inquiries.
