VETERAN rocker Douglas Oliveiro was beaten up by a group of men near his home early last Wednesday morning, which left him with a fractured skull and cuts and bruises on his face.
The well-known local musician, who has been in showbiz for almost 40 years, was placed under overnight observation at the hospital and is now at home.
The 52-year-old, a judge on Singapore Idol during its first season five years ago, had left his Yishun home shortly after midnight to buy some food from the nearby 24-hour Shop N Save store
My edited continuation copy of the report............
On his way to the store, he asked a group of young men who were blocking the footpath to make way.
They let him pass, but according to Mr Oliviero, they attacked him from behind shortly after.
