Dave Grohl last night fell off a stage in Sweden just two songs in and broke his fibula bone in his leg, in the true spirit of rock n roll the Foo Fighters lead singer got medical attention while the band played covers before returning to the stage seated to finish the set.

The accident happened during a concert in Ullevi Stadium, in Gothenburg, Grohl went to jump on a ramp but missed and fell into the security area.

"I think I just broke my leg again," Grohl told the audience as he lay prone on the ground."I'm going to go to hospital. I'm going to fix my leg. And then I'm going to come back."

He added: "You have my promise right now that the Foo Fighters - we're going to come back and finish the show." Which he then did.

There's no news yet on whether the broken leg will mean the band's stadium shows and their Festival appearance at Glastonbury will be effected, but organisers are confident the shows will go on.

Foo Fighters are set to play stadium summer shows:

A spokesman for Glastonbury Festival said, "It will take more than that to stop him!"
