It was three years ago that Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg when falling from the stage at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden. He finished that show with a roadie literally holding Grohl’s bones in place by hand, then rocked the rest of the tour in a full-leg cast from a custom-built, kick-ass, rock and roll throne.
So when the Foo Fighters returned to that venue for a show this week, they thought they’d play with the audience’s emotions a bit by having a Dave Grohl stunt double take a dive off the stage right where the real Dave took his leg-shattering tumble last time. Thankfully, the real Dave enters the stage momentarily after the fake Dave drops, and the crowd goes wild.
