Foo Fighters frontman/guitarist Dave Grohl did indeed break his leg onstage during the bands performance in Gothenburg, Sweden last night, June 12th. Footage of that has now emerged and can be seen below, as well as a bit of the aftermath. Despite the injury Grohl returned to the set with an EMT and finished out the set. The injury has forced some immediate concert cancellations however, as the band stated today:
“As witnessed by tens of thousands in attendance at Foo Fighters’ June 12 show at Ullevi Stadium, Dave Grohl took a nasty spill during the second song of the set. With the help of on-site medical staff who patched him up temporarily, Dave was able to rejoin the band to complete that performance.
While the full extent of Dave’s injuries are still being determined, it was confirmed at a post-show hospital visit that he sustained at least one fracture.
As a result Foo Fighters have been forced to cancel their June 14 appearance at the Pinkpop Festival as well as their June 16 show at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland.”
Thank you Gothenburg. That was amazing.
