Dave Grohl breaks leg in stage fall , comes back to finish show !

Dave Grohl , one of the hardest working and by all accounts nice guy of rock broke his leg while performing in Gothenburg last night , disappointed Grohl told the audience after the fall he'd broken his leg and was off to hospital to get it fixed but the Foo Fighters would return to play another show for them.

The rest of the band carried on in Dave's absence , saying they'd play a couple of party songs for the fans then end the show but Dave Grohl being Dave Grohl decided to get back on stage with his leg leg in bandages and finish the show.

Bellow is a video of the evenings events.


Dave , you are my hero .... above and beyond.

The dude is a legend a proper rock star.
Don't make em like they used to be.
Love to have a pint with him.

I saw the Foo Fighters years ago at an Ozzfest at Milton Keynes , I wasn't a Foo Fighters fan before the show but after it I was.
I've seen many bands but few put in the passion and enthusiasm for show like Dave Grohl and the band , the guy respects the audience and in my eyes is the consummate professional , this episode just seals his rock icon status.

already a legend to me.
not leg end.

You're only supposed to say 'break a leg' to actors, it's bad luck for everyone else.

I bet it actually improved his singing a bit, though...

Class act, that guy.

Dave is the classiest rock star I've ever seen.

A true musician. The industry could learn A LOT from him, more than it has.

Go Dave, you badass you.

Dave's X Ray picture has been released and shows it was indeed a significant break.


That's gotta hurt.

why is dave grohl getting more attention then the new evidence released about kurt cobain,pretty convenient timing ,and pretty disgusting this has more flags.

blatant smoke and mirror tactics.

Take that Axel Rose.

I guess he felt 'under pressure' to finish the show?
sorry.
Talk about commitment, what a guy.

I broke my leg there, thankfully it got me out of a marathon! Dave rocks hoooord.

The guy is harder than titatium carbide.
A nasty break like that,and not a single whinge.
"Oh I've broken my leg,
But i'll be back in a bit to finish the gig."

This will forever be remembered in rock history.

Dave Grohl is one committed rockstar.
What a guy.

Cool move. Tickets are expensive. At least he cares about his fans.

Dave is a great guy. This doesn't surprise me and I do hope he gets better soon!

Foo fighters first two albums were the best for me. The rest is just crap.
But breaking a leg and playing on like he did is impressive.

a reply to: stuthealien

probably cause dave is still relevant as an active musician and kurt is not.

im so tired of hearing about cobain...
every so often the 'new evidence' makes the rounds and the chatter starts.
who friggin cares?

So your suggesting this is an elaborate plan?. Never heard anything so ridiculous.

On a edge a bit here because have tickets to Wembley show next Friday. The fact he finished this show does give me hope he will continue the tour.

This guy is a trooper, too...
