Dave Grohl breaks leg mid-show, carries on playing

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is reported to have broken his leg after falling off stage midway through a gig, before finishing the show anyway.

Grohl was performing in Gothenburg, Sweden, on a stop in the band’s current world tour. He’s said to have fallen off stage during ‘Monkey Wrench’, remained on the ground for a few minutes, before declaring to the crowd: “I love you, but I think I just broke my leg.”

Eyewitnesses report that after going backstage for some time, Grohl returned with his leg wrapped in a cast, before finishing the show while seated. While he was away, his bandmates played a set of covers, led by drummer Taylor Hawkins.

The band’s world tour is set to continue, including a headline slot at Glastonbury 2015.
