Reports and video out of Gothenburg, Sweden say that on Friday night (June 12th), Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl fell off stage at Ullevi Stadium shortly into the band's set during "Monkey Wrench" and broke his leg.
Grohl reportedly remained on the ground for several minutes before being taken backstage. “Hey, ladies and gentlemen. I love you, but I think I just broke my leg. I really broke my leg,” he told the audience.
While Grohl was attended to backstage, the rest of Foo Fighters played a set of covers sung by drummer Taylor Hawkins. Ultimately, Grohl returned to the stage with his leg wrapped and finished the concert sitting in a chair. “I may not be able to walk or run but I can still play guitar and scream,” he proclaimed.
Check out the video clips below featuring the actual leg-breaking incident and Grohl announcing that he would return to finish the show after a trip to the hospital. The third clip features Grohl fulfilling that promise:
