US rock band the Foo Fighters have pulled out of performances at Murrayfield, Glastonbury and Wembley Stadium after lead singer and guitarist Dave Grohl broke his leg.
The band have axed all their remaining UK and European dates, including their Friday night slot at Worthy Farm on June 26, after the former Nirvana drummer fell off stage during a concert in Sweden last Friday.
A statement on the band’s website said: “Due to injuries sustained in Dave Grohl’s fall from the stage during Foo Fighters’ June 12 show at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, doctors have required the cancellation of the remainder of the band’s dates in the UK and Europe.
“After undergoing surgery Monday, Dave’s full recuperation time is still to be determined.”
As well as their appearance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, they have also scrapped gigs at Wembley Stadium this Friday and Saturday, Murrayfield in Edinburgh on June 23 and Festivalpark Werchter in Belgium on June 25.
