The band’s June 14 appearance at Pinkpop Festival and June 16 concert in Switzerland have been postponed. “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,” read a statement. “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.” Fan-shot video of [Grohl’s reaction to the fall can be seen here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=towR%5Fsk7cvk "undefined"). _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/13/foo-fighters-cancel-two-shows-dave-grohl-leg-fracture "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3920438/foo-fighters-cancel-shows-dave-grohl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3920438/foo-fighters-cancel-shows-dave-grohl/"},"headline":"Foo Fighters Cancel 2 Shows After Dave Grohl Breaks His Leg","datePublished":"2015-06-13T19:27:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:11:15.828Z","description":"The full extend of the injuries has not been determined","url":"https://time.com/3920438/foo-fighters-cancel-shows-dave-grohl/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25306271e127508b/6988547306f2c17bb933aa1f/dave-grohl1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christopher Rosen/EW"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25306271e127508b/6988547306f2c17bb933aa1f/dave-grohl1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"dave grohl hangout music festival","caption":"dave grohl hangout music festival","creditText":"Taylor Hill—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3920438/foo-fighters-cancel-shows-dave-grohl/","name":"Foo Fighters Cancel 2 Shows After Dave Grohl Breaks His Leg"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Giorgio Moroder Describes the Perfect Pop Dance Song","description":"At the age of 74, electronic music producer Giorgio Moroder is releasing his first album in three decades.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/J4PWndMR/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-06T22:07:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/J4PWndMR.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3920438/foo-fighters-cancel-shows-dave-grohl/","duration":"PT1M15S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3920438/foo-fighters-cancel-shows-dave-grohl/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
