STOCKHOLM – Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl fell off the stage during a concert Friday in Goteborg and injured his right leg — but still continued with the concert.
Grohl's U.S. representative Steve Martin confirmed the fall to The AP and said he was finishing the concert.
Photos from the concert at the Ullevi stadium show Grohl singing on stage and playing his guitar, while his leg is elevated and bandaged.
Videos show Grohl telling the crowd "I think I really broke my leg," before he was taken away for medical attention.
However, Grohl later was carried back on stage on a stretcher with his right foot bandaged, and continued the concert on crutches. Grohl told the crowd he wouldn't leave the stage unless given orders by a doctor to do so.
Later, the Foo Fighters tweeted an X-ray image what appeared to be a clear fracture in the leg.

A lot of injuries lately to band members falling off stages. I guess it's time for the government to step in with some regulations regarding stages and railings. We should be able to do this pretty cheaply, say $20 million for a study, about $50 for a policing force to ensure proper enforcement. It's all about the jobs.

He's about as cool and cutting edge as REO Speedwagon or Toto. Why are people around here so proud to have the King of Corporate Rock be a local hero?
