Dave Grohl Falls Off Stage In Sweden, Breaks Leg, Still Finishes Show
Dave Grohl is a Renaissance man. He’s a prolific musician, documentary film maker Record Store Day ambassador, and now, certified badass. Fan-shot footage posted to YouTube doesn’t show the actual fall, which happened during a performance of “Monkey Wrench,” which was only the second song in Foo Fighters’ set. However, it does capture Dave Grohl addressing the crowd right after the accident.
“Ladies and gentleman… I love you too motherf—ers,” Grohl began. “Now look, I think I just broke my leg. I think I REALLY broke my leg. So look, you have my promise, right now, that the Foo Fighters; we’re gonna come back and finish the show. 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. We’re gonna do it, but right now, Taylor Hawkins, you’ve gotta do it. You’ve gotta do it.”

Dave Grohl is a bad ass, what else is there to say?

...I don't get it. The guy just keeps bringing a level of energy and excitement to his music that few others can match. His performance with Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen on Late Night with David Letterman was amazing. If you scout around YouTube you will find another Foo clip of them performing the same song in which Taylor Hawkins talks about wanting to keep the white suit and then changing his mind after finding out that it cost $5000.
I want names, damn it!!!! I saw the Foo Fighters back in January and they just killed it for like four hours straight. It was Dave's birthday and he announced the show on a Thursday, sold out on Friday and Saturday just tore into it. There was literally an all star cast accompanying Dave - there was Paul Stanley from Kiss, Tenacious D, Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age, Perry Farrell from Janes Addiction, it just went on and on. Jack Black sang Happy Birthday, and they played Immigrant Song, there were lots of covers and Foo Fighters songs, easily the best concert I've ever been to. To paraphrase a quote from Homer Simpson - he who is tired of Dave Grohl is tired of life.
It usually comes across like some grade school level "Oh, he thinks he's so great" jealousy.
I mean, this guy threw a concert on his birthday and had Paul Stanley come on and sing "Detroit Rock City," for God's sake. Show me the person who wouldn't like to see that and I'll show you a bald-faced LIAR!!!!!
I mean come on, who wouldn't want to see Dave and Tenacious D performing Immigrant Song?
Grohl is the epitome of a TRUE SHOWMAN. He deserves every accolade for EVERYTHING he does! Seriously... look it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Grohl
Get well, Dave!!!
Everlong is one of my absolute favorite songs. And I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers......
I saw them in January, easily one of my favorite concerts I've ever been to. I'm seeing them again in September. Can't wait! 
And if you need legal assistance call the law offices of Grohl, Hawkins, Mendel, Schiflett, Smear And Associates:
he comes across as a guy who truly cares about his fans - the xray pic looked VERY painful 
I hope he recovers nicely
