Grohl breaks leg during show

2015-06-13 by Masochist | 61 Comments
Dave Grohl, lead singer of the Foo Fighters, broke his leg during a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden on June 12th. The injury happened when the frontman jumped off stage while playing 'Monkey Wrench'. Grohl announced to the crowd: "I think I broke my leg. I mean, REALLY broke my leg" before being carted backstage.

After paramedics wrapped his leg in a cast and splint, Grohl came back out and performed the rest of the concert in a chair with his leg propped up in front of him.

You can watch a video of Grohl performing 'All My Life' after the incident here:

I'm sure he won't want people telling him to "break a leg" before shows anymore.

Props to D. Grohl though!

The fact that he came out again and continued to perform is really something. Guy is a true performer. Hope he gets through a quick recovery!

He could have stopped the show and pretty much everyone would have understood. But this is Dave Grohl, who doesn't believe in half- measures. Legend.

In a city known for metal music, this is probably the most metal thing that they have ever witnessed.

Also, I completely agree, tresm87. This'll be written in the annals of live music history.

"what is wrong with this guy besides having a caffeine addiction"

He was in the biggest rock band in the world when the frontman of the band killed himself. I imagine it fucks with your head.

i just realized, Mikael Akerfeldt and Dave Grohl are one person. Grohl is Akerfeldt's American persona.
