Goddamn Grohl, could you at least try to seem human?

At a Foo Fighters show in Gothenburg, Sweden, Friday night, Dave Grohl apparently fell off stage and broke his leg. You think he ended the show like some regular ol Roger Daltrey catching a whiff of some pot smoke? NOPE.

During a performance of “Monkey Wrench,” Grohl fell to the ground. He remained there for a few minutes before resurfacing and telling the crowd, “Hey, ladies and gentlemen. I love you, but I think I just broke my leg. I really broke my leg.”

After being taken back stage for treatment, the band filled time playing cover songs with drummer Taylor Hawkins on the mic. Though the crowd most likely anticipated the show being cut short, before long, Grohl returned to the stage in a chair, his leg wrapped. “I may not be able to walk or run but I can still play guitar and scream.”

The below video shows the moment the injury occured as well as some post-injury footage.
