Foo Fighters cancels two shows after Dave Grohl breaks his leg

LOS ANGELES, June 14 (UPI) -- The rock band Foo Fighters has canceled shows planned for Sunday and Tuesday after front man Dave Grohl fell off of a stage at a concert in Sweden and broke his leg this weekend.

"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," the musicians said in a statement on their website.

"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," the message continued. "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."

A video of Grohl telling the crowd at Friday night's concert that he thinks he broke his leg has gone viral and has been viewed nearly 2.7 million times since it was posted.
