Grohl reportedly fell during the band’s performance of “Monkey Wrench” and 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.

Break a leg!

Cool is as cool does.

Gravdigr · 06-13-2015, 03:56 PM

Yeah, Dave's pretty fucking cool.

Griff · 06-13-2015, 04:02 PM

Old school cool.

I'm going to see him at Fenway this summer... As long as this hasn't thrown a monkey wrench into things.

Gravdigr · 06-13-2015, 04:22 PM

Yeah, nobody, NOBODY, there would have gotten pissed if he didn't finish the show. Dude broke his damn leg. But he came back and finished the fucking show.

That might be beyond cool. Verging on awesomeness.

And they couldn't tell his screams of pain from his singing.

I think Grohl is getting some competition in the cool rocker category.

I had no idea people still paid good money to go and see artists and then just throw things at them.

I mean super-cool reflexes David Achter de Molen (I presume) but a punch up the bracket to the maroon that threw it.
