Dave Grohl 'Breaks His Leg' During Foo Fighters Gig - Comes Back And Finishes Set

The Foo Fighters frontman reportedly proved his legendary status tonight   12-Jun-15

Dave Grohl is currently touring Europe with Foo Fighters, and tonight the band are in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Reports have emerged that the Foo Fighters frontman 'broke his leg' on stage, and was then transferred to a hospital where his leg was placed in a cast.

During this time the band reportedly played cover songs, while waiting for Grohl to come back.

And they didn't have to wait long - he came back with his leg in a cast and finished the gig.

According to local blogger and music fan Daniel Claeson, Dave Grohl returned to the stage after his absence and said:

"Maybe I can't walk, maybe I can't run. But I can play the guitar and I can SCREAM."

Fans were fairly impressed by the recovery:

Dave Grohl just broke his leg on stage but kept the show going. So much respect for this man.
