Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl has stunned fans by continuing with a concert in Stockholm after falling from the stage and badly injuring his right leg.

Big screen footage shows Grohl addressing the crowd after his fall

Grohl, former Nirvana drummer, was performing in Gothenburg, Sweden, when he tumbled during the second song.

Photos show Grohl singing on stage and playing his guitar, while his leg is elevated and bandaged.

But instead of cutting the show short, a recumbent Grohl at first jokingly sang the David Bowie and Queen song Under Pressure and vowed to press on.

“I think I just broke my leg,” Grohl told the crowd, according to a fan video.

But before the crowd could voice disappointment, Grohl said: “I’m going to go to the hospital, I’m going to fix my leg, but then I’m coming back and we’re going to play for you again. I’m so sorry.”

The Foo Fighters continued the show in Grohl’s absence, with drummer Taylor Hawkins taking over vocals for a number of cover songs.

Dave Grohl took to Twitter to release this image of his x-ray.

Sure enough, Grohl returned after an hour with his leg in a cast, alternately performing with crutches or sitting on a chair, according to footage shared by fans — some of whom, in reference to a Foo Fighters song, used the hashtag #MyHero.

“I may not be able to walk or run, but I can still play guitar and scream,” Grohl said.

The Foo Fighters later tweeted an X-ray showing Grohl’s broken leg, saying: “Thank you Gothenburg. That was amazing.”
