Ironik "back to normal" after stabbing

DJ Ironik has said that his life is "back to normal" after he was stabbed in an attempted robbery last year.

The 'Tiny Dancer' star told BBC Newsbeat that while he has "calmed down" on how much jewellery he wears, people should have the right to wear what they like.

Ironik said of the stabbing: "It was something I've never experienced in my life before. Something that I've spoke about in a lot of my records - some of my records - actually.

"Especially this song 'Stay With Me' that was used against gun and knife crime. So it was a bit crazy for me to be then in the newspapers for that kind of situation."

He added: "I find it very low that someone has to go take what you have and what you work for. I've kind of got over it and trying to get back on to living my life and being normal.

"The past is behind, and I'm trying to get on with my life. I'm back to normal, back to work 100% and I'm just happy that everyone was really supportive.

"I'll always be involved in charity work and especially the anti-gun and knife crime thing. It's a very important thing... I'll always be a part of supporting it, even before the incident, but obviously now more so."
