Napalm Death vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway has been undertaking the past few weeks of the band’s European/UK tour with a broken right ankle. The 53-year-old grind legend suffered that injury onstage during the band’s February 19th set at the Backstage Halle in Munich, Germany.
He addressed the audience about the injury amid the band’s February 26th set in Paris, France, stating:
“[I] broke an ankle on stage in Munich seven nights ago. So I’ve got another five fucking weeks in this thing, but I’m gonna make the fucking most of it.
Needless to say, there may have been an option for me to not do the gigs, but that is not what I do or what I don’t do. I wanted to go [and play the gigs], and that is it.
So, once again, apologies and thanks for your patience in advance.”
