Last weekend's gig in Chicago marked the band's first U.S. appearance.

The BBC said The Enemy went on with its set despite Clarke's injury and Clarke saw a doctor after the performance.

Clarke told NME.com the accident was "an occupational hazard."

"The doctor looked at it after the set and said I'd have to miss a couple of gigs," he said. "I said I'd miss one, but I'm not missing LA."

The BBC said the band canceled a Montreal festival appearance this week but played in Los Angeles as scheduled Wednesday night.

A spokesman for the band said Clarke performed with a bandaged hand.
