According to Consequence of Sound, the singer fell while performing the band’s 1997 hit song “Monkey Wrench,” and in video footage from the show, he can be heard telling the audience, “Hey, ladies and gentlemen. I love you, but I think I just broke my leg. I really my broke leg. Right now, I’m gonna go to the hospital. I’m gonna fix my leg. But then I’m gonna come back, and we’re gonna play for you again. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”
Grohl left to seek medical attention, while the band’s drummer Taylor Hawkins’ filled in for the singer. Grohl ultimately returned to the stage and sang Queen and David Bowie’s duet, “Under Pressure.”
“I may not be able to walk or run, but I can still play guitar and scream,” he told the audience, while sitting in a chair with his leg bandaged.
