Foo Fighters is forced to scrap at least two of their scheduled concerts. The cancellation was made after their lead singer, Dave Grohl, fell off the stage and broke his leg during the band's live performance in Sweden on Friday.

The rockers were supposed to perform at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands on June 14 and then at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland on June 16. They had to axe them in order to give their frontman time to recuperate from his injury.

"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," reads the statement on the band's website.

"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."
