Breaks leg falling off stage, returns to concert

Personal Injury/Fall0 Comments

Two songs into their set at the Ullevi stadium, in Gothenburg, Sweden, Grohl misses a ramp and falls of the stage and breaks his leg.

I think I just broke my leg…I’m going to go to hospital. I’m going to fix my leg. And then I’m going to come back. You have my promise right now that the Foo Fighters – we’re going to come back and finish the show.

The band continue playing cover versions whilst Grohl seeks medical attention. Grohl then reappears after an hour and continues playing for a further two-and-a-half hours while seated, with a medic holding his leg up.
