    This is a bummer. Hope he heals fast. The shows won't have the same energy if he can't run around the stage. I don't think he's going to be running for a while.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Dave is a badass--the hockey player of rock for coming back and finishing that show! I wish him a speedy recovery. Hopefully he'll be all set for the RFK show! Wrigley is getting closer and closer--I feel like I've had tickets in hand for this show FOREVER! And now starting to get excited about it again. Hopefully he's OK for the whole US tour...unsure how long it takes to recover from an injury like that.

    Been super excited about the July 4th show for a long time now. I don't care if he's sitting down or not, I hope it doesn't get cancelled. Can definitely understand if it does. That'll just mean i'll have to buy Atlanta tickets now, which I might end up doing anyways.

    I don't want to see them in Olympic park,but I'm probably going to hit my bro up who lives in ATL and grab that show.

    I haven't listened to any Foo in months. I didn't like Sonic Highways. But man, since I saw this thread, I've been listening to FF all day.

    Good news - or at least a glimmer of hope - for US folks attending the Foo's concerts:

    Major Update On Foo Fighters’ U.S. Stadium Concerts Following Dave Grohl Breaking Leg

    Despite Foo Fighters recently canceling some high profile U.K. and European festival and stadium performances due to Dave Grohl breaking his leg at a show in Sweden, The Boston Globe reports that the band are still set to perform at Fenway Park in Boston, MA on July 18th and 19th. Their report states, “If you’re wondering what the bad break means for the band’s shows at Fenway Park July 18 and 19, we’re told they’re still on. We’re guessing that Grohl won’t do a lot of stage diving, but that’s probably for the best.”

    Foo Fighters also have huge shows scheduled next month at RFK Stadium and Citi Field. Obviously plans are subject to change, as the U.K. concerts weren’t immediately canceled.
