ouch...fibula fracture with displacement. Not the worst he could have had, but still a trooper for finishing that show.

There's "Times Like These" when you wish you a "Monkey Wrench" to fix ya up so you can "Walk" "Everlong" if not "Learn to Fly", but "Stranger Things Have Happened". "My Hero".

It is out there, I saw it on the weekend (@jdorn rted a twitter post from Digg that had it).



At the 3m4s point is where the clip cuts to him being carried back on stage and picks up singing Queen's Under Pressure.

Dave Grohl gets back on stage after breaking leg in Gothenburg, 2015. When everybody started to thinking about going home the bands plays a few more songs. Dave decides to give it a try with help from a paramedic fixating his foot! Later decides to pause for one song to get a cast and return again to complete the full show! There goes my hero!
This dude is just a friggin legend. Mad respect.

He's all kinds of awesome! The Foo fighters playing your garage is the coolest prize I've ever seen.

I watched a bunch of those - they go out driving a tractor with one guy where they played in his equipment shed. They let him join them for songs too.

A lot of people disparage the Foos as generic and repetitive. Fine. But it sure does look like they honestly love what they do and appreciate what it has given them while still having fun and remaining grounded.
