Grohl breaks his leg and still plays show

Dave Grohl Suffers Leg Injury At Foo Fighters' Concert In Gothenburg (Video) - Blabbermouth.net

This is awesome. He breaks his leg during the show, goes to the hospital, comes back to the gig less than an hour later, and finishes the show in a chair!

Seeing them in London next week, hope he doesn't damage the leg further by playing shows his body doesn't want to!

Would much rather a healthy Dave than to see him in pain on stage.

This is almost like that time Andrew WK broke his foot, played the rest of the show, signed autographs after the show while he was sitting in the ambulance, and then played the rest of the tour in a wheelchair.

It's pretty awesome. A lot of my friends were at that show last night, first time I've felt it was okay to be posting videos on Facebook in the middle of a show

 

[Underworld]

Very awesome of him! But I have tickets to see Foo Fighters in a month, I HOPE they won't cancel the show :-(

I hear a lot of people bag on Dave Grohl and I've never understood it.

Really? You're worried about him cancelling the show in a month when he didn't even cancel the show it happened at?

Nothing will beat for me, however, an incident with a local band that happened a few years ago.

The stage was a little wobbly, so when the vocalist stepped backwards, it went out from under him, taking his knee and back with it - he just crawled to the front of the stage, said "I think I just ....ing broke my leg" and then continued singing until the paramedics arrived and made him leave - at which point the guitarist took over vocals.

He's still on prescription pain meds from that, I found out.

Dave Grohl's Leg Fracture Forces Foo Fighters Show Cancelations - Blabbermouth.net

June 14th at Pink pop and June 16th in St. fallen, Switzerland have been cancelled

 

[ghost2II2]

And yet again, Grohl proves what a class act he really is. I saw that ....ing fall and that fracture had to be unbelievably painful. He just handled the whole thing like a ....ing boss.

Apparently the photographers at the gig got screwed. The contract you had to sign to get a photo pass meant that none of the pro shots of the gig were allowed to be published anywhere except like one magazine because of the Foo's management. So when suddenly every major news network in the world started calling and asking for pictures, these poor guys who never get paid anyway had to turn them down. And instead some chum taking cellphone pics from the audience is selling their crappy shots for what is actually a pretty big news event. Professional photographers really can't catch a break

To be fair, I think a drummer fracturing his leg is a much bigger impediment than breaking the last segment of your pinky finger on your picking hand. DEP or no.

But grohl isn't the drummer in FF of course.

Wow duh. I'm a moron

Usually think of him with QotSA.

Well according to Gigwise this weekend at Wembley is still on as is the rest of the tour inc Glastonbury.... personally not a fan of the Foo Fighters music, not my cuppa tea but always been a big fan of Dave Grohl the person. LOTS of other "rockstars" could see him and then take a little look in the mirror....

here's footage off Gigwise of him playing with the broken leg. Fair fcukign play to the man!
