Weezer bassist Scott Shriner returned to the stage on Saturday, four days after his wife was shot and injured by police, and charged with attempted murder.
The 90s rock star, 59, and his band performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, without addressing the shooting incident.
Weezer, which Scott Shriner joined in 2001, was a late addition to Coachella’s first weekend lineup, announced shortly before the shooting.
Shriner’s wife, writer Jillian Lauren Shriner, 51, was wounded outside their home in Eagle Rock, northeast Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon after a cop shot her in the shoulder.
She allegedly became entangled in a police manhunt through their neighborhood and pointed a gun at officers from her front yard, which is when they opened fire.
Jillian, who recently revealed that she is battling cancer, was absentee booked on suspicion of attempted murder while being taken to a nearby medical facility by paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Despite the incident, Shriner focused on his music during Weezer’s Saturday set, playing fan favorites for the crowd.
Some of the hits they played included My Name Is Jonas, Hash Pipe and Pork and Beans.
Scott was pictured rocking out with fellow band members Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell, and Patrick Wilson.
Scott sported a short sleeve light yellow button-up shirt with light jeans.
He played his guitar with a cheetah-print strap.
Weezer formed in Los Angeles, California in 1992.
Weezer has had a number of significant hits throughout their career, including Buddy Holly (1994), Say It Ain’t So (1995), Island in the Sun (2001), and Undone – The Sweater Song (1994).
It comes after Shriner has said his wife is ‘alright’ after the shooting, while also plugging his band’s Coachella performance.
Speaking outside his Los Angeles home Thursday, Shriner said: ‘She’s alright, thank you for asking,’ when approached by a New York Post reporter. He declined to give any further details about his wife.
‘See you at Coachella,’ he added, in a plug for the Weezer gig.

Jillian was taken to the hospital with injuries which were not life-threatening, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said.
The carnage unfolded when a male suspect entered her neighbor’s property after he was caught up in a three-car crash on the 134 Freeway around 3pm.
He fled the scene with two more male suspects, and hid from officers by stripping down to his boxer shorts before jumping into a resident’s swimming pool and watering some plants in a bizarre attempt to blend in with the neighborhood.
Jillian then exited her home with a gun, though it is unclear whether she actually fired the weapon.
Officers ordered her several times to drop the gun, but she refused, and pointed it at them, police allege. She was struck in the shoulder by police gunfire.
Jillian ran back inside her house before re-emerging a short time later with her babysitter by her side. They were both seen with their hands raised, as officers ordered them down the driveway, where they were arrested without incident.
At that point, Jillian allegedly told officers she was simply trying to defend her home from the suspect running through the neighborhood, according to CBS News. The man was also taken into custody.

Jillian revealed that she is battling cancer only weeks before the incident. She had shared a post to her main Instagram page last month in March to announce that she has cancer and is undergoing treatment
Medical professionals examined her for what was described as ‘a non-life-threatening gunshot wound’ following the violent series of events.
It is unclear whether Shriner was involved in the shocking incident ahead of his appearance at Coachella.
Meanwhile, the driver of the car that crashed in the hit-and-run was detained by California Highway Patrol officers, cited and released.
Police said that they took a nine-millimeter handgun from Jillian’s home upon examining the abode in the wake of the saga that played out in Southern California.
A woman involved in the three-vehicle crash the man and two other male suspects fled from also suffered moderate injuries and was taken to the hospital, police said.
Officers added that Jillian had nothing to do with the initial hit-and-run.
Jillian was later booked and released after posting $1 million bond, LA County jail records showed.
She has not made a court appearance, and it was not immediately clear whether she has hired a lawyer.
Meanwhile, the remaining two suspects who fled the multi-car crash remain at large.
Dailymail.com has reached out to the LAPD for additional comment.
Jillian revealed that she is battling cancer only weeks before the incident.

Beyond her marriage to Scott, Lauren has found fame on her own after penning a series of memoirs and true crime books.
