Dave Grohl breaks leg, close up, Ullevi 2015

[@Djsand1000]

Guy snaps his leg in half and all he wants is a mic to tell people he loves them and he's coming back.

And then after Justin Bieber gets a bottle thrown at him, he gets pissed off and stops the concert. XD

Slightly different (and considerably less well known) but Ross Jarman of The Cribs once drummed an entire studio album (Ignore The Ignorant) with a broken wrist, as in he didn't even get it seen to until he finished recording! The Cribs are somewhat fans of Dave Grohl as well 😏

[@lillieannensorensen6512]

Watch his band. I am married to a man who was a rock and roll stage performer for 24 years. Dave disappears and the band keeps playing, unconcerned, but when his guitar is lifted up, over the lip of the stage, to a tech, they all come forward to peer over the edge to see if he is dead. Crew jumps down, Jordyn (his wife) appears and things start to happen. I have seen guitarists flat on their backs after a fall, blood pooling around their head, pull that guitar up closer and never miss a note, even as someone lifts them back to the stage. When that guitar appeared without him, the band knew it was serious!

I was fortunate to grow up in a loving and stable family but when your 8 all you care about is fitting and having friends. Instead of lashing out I would listen to Nirvana and by me hearing Kurt scream out the lyrics it helped me feel not alone

I'm not a big Too Fighters fan but I've got to give to to Dave for coming back and finishing the set. I broke my left leg last year, snapping both tibia & fibula about 5" below my knee. First time I've ever broken a bone in 50yrs and can honestly say I've never been in more pain then that and I've had some serious accidents/injuries. Unfortunately I have a natural resistance to pain medication ,morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl have no effect on me whatsoever. Just the slightest movement was excruciatingly, so I know Dave was hurting.
