Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl broke his leg at a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden after falling off the stage. But he kept performing as the paramedics bandaged him up. The band was playing “Monkey Wrench” when it happened and continued the concert with Grohl seated as the band played some covers, including the David Bowie and Queen classic “Under Pressure.”
Two fan videos have surfaced and can be watched below. “I think I just broke my leg, I think I really broke my leg,” Grohl tells the crowd before telling them he’s off to the hospital and promises that Foo Fighters will return to make up the concert.
This was all reported by Stereogum via a tip from one of their readers named Magnus and the Swedish site Afton Blade.
