In footage of the incident, Grohl can be heard saying: “Ladies and gentlemen…I think I just broke my leg. I think I really broke my leg.”

But he then pledges to return to complete to gig.

“You have my promise right now that the foo fighters, we’re going to come back and finish this show.

“Ladies and gentleman right now, I’m going go to hospital and I’m gonna fix my leg but then I’m going to come back and we’re going to play for you again.”

“I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry!” he tells the crowd, as they cheer for the singer.

Grohl isn’t the only singer to show his loyalty to his fans by continuing a concert in the face of a serious inrjury.
