Agree in principle...But it takes a hard core fucker to come back on stage after breaking their leg...This happened tonight also...
Add Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl to the growing list of rock stars laid low by stage falls.
The band was in the midst of its second song during a festival in Gothenberg, Sweden, when the 46-year-old went down.
"I think I just broke my leg," he told the audience. "I think I really broke my leg."
Not that it stopped him from hitting the high notes in Under Pressure. He finished the song lying down as roadies and paramedics tended to his injured right leg.
After that song, he was forced to tap out. He told the audience, "Right now, I'm gonna go to the hospital and fix my leg and then we're gonna come back and play for you again."
A publicist for the Foo Fighters told USA TODAY that after being treated backstage, Grohl was able to go back out and finish the set from a chair. "I can still sing and scream," he reasoned.

Saw them earlier this week in Atlanta, outside at GTech's Stadium. It was awesome, so i will be returning in 2 weeks to Raleigh, where they will play again outside at the NC St. Stadium. You're in for a treat! This outside stadium/venue concert series is awesome...
