Well, it’s official, Dave Grohl suffered at least one fracture after taking a fall off the stage at Ullevi Stadium in Göteborg, Sweden on Friday night (June 12th). While the Foo Fighters front man was able to receive immediate medical attention and pull off the ultimate rock n’ roll move by finishing the show, the band will have to cancel at least two shows due to his injuries, the band’s June 14th appearance at the Pinkpop Festival and June 16th in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

The band released a photo of x-rays confirming at least one fracture, and released the following statement:
As witnessed by tens of thousands in attendance at Foo Fighters’ June 12 show at Ullevi Stadium, Dave Grohl took a nasty spill during the second song of the set. With the help of on-site medical staff who patched him up temporarily, Dave was able to rejoin the band to complete that performance.
While the full extent of Dave’s injuries are still being determined, it was confirmed at a post-show hospital visit that he sustained at least one fracture.
As a result Foo Fighters have been forced to cancel their June 14 appearance at the Pinkpop Festival as well as their June 16 show at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
