Dave Grohl broken leg

[mb23]

Would be gutted if Foos pull out, but at the same time it wouldn't be the same with Dave sat down- their live shows are all about his energy.

Blur would be a good replacement, will be interesting to see what happens...

[let's 'ave it!!!]

2 weeks exactly til they're due to play, reckon they could be alright but surely if not the only solution will be to bump everyone up a slot and slide Gaslight Anthem in somewhere on the Pyramid as they're free on the Friday

I think one of the most truly fucking horrific (if true) was the lad from Muse walking off stage after headlining to find out his dad had died.

Anyhoo...

Yeah it was, truly awful stuff that one.

If Florence and her machines are promoted to headline I think I'll demand my money back...

In all seriousness though, leg breaks can vary in seriousness, he could be standing in a cast on stage quite easily. Fingers crossed for Dave

[ManchesterGlasto]

I hope it isn't broken and they don't pull out.

[Cooter]

Couldn't agree more, although Motorhead should be moved up the bill.

Aye. hairline fracture and he might be ok.

Well I broke my leg a couple of days before Glastonbury 2011, doctor said it was just bruised so I went to Glastonbury with it untreated even though I was convinced it was broken. Bloody hurt when I got stuck in the mud and tried to pull my leg out though!!.

Went to different doctor when I got back he sent me straight to hospital to get it plastered. Funny thing was the consultant even wrote in my notes it was painful when it was stuck in the mud at Glastonbury J

So no reason he can’t bloody well stand on a stage 2 weeks after a break as far as I'm concerned.

Personally I’m happy the first doctor misdiagnosed it as I probably wouldn’t have gone if I’d just been put into a plaster.

Depends on the break really.

If they do pull out though it will be just a case of every one getting bumped.. and it being exceedingly crowded at West Holts.

[Swine_Glasto2014]

If it's a serious break.ie Tibula or fib he would not be sat there playing a guitar. He would be close too passing out in agony, off his head on gas.

[alframsey]

I hope they don't cancel if only to keep Albarn/Martin away!

He might not want to do it if he has it sit in a chair for it all and can't give it his all

As much as I love Dave, I hope it is broken and they do pull out. I need a headliner 10x better than the Foos.

[GlastoSimon]

Crikey. Poor bloke.

Comes down to a couple of things I guess...

If they've got really special guests lined up who won't be around next year or whatever, then it'll be hard not going ahead.

If Grohl feels he can't put on a proper Foos show and it would partially ruin the experience of the fest, maybe they'd be better off doing it next year.

At least from the Eavii's point of view they have some back-up in the form of Florence. Such a shame though, hope he recovers.

[Sawdusty surfer]

He's a hardcore leg end. Will be fine with a Foo stool.

Is that Flo and her Machine? Cos that's who you will get

How very nice of you

[FuzzyDunlop]

He has only done this so we can resurrect the headliners thread.

[Gnomicide]

Bloody hell! Watched the Rock Am Ring footage earlier, decided they'd be ace.

[Keithy]

It'll probably only turn out to be a sprained ankle.

This. Would they really want to do glasto while not at 100%, can't imagine them being asked to headline again if they didn't go down well the first time regardless of injury

well it took them 17 years since their last performance to be asked back so i don't think that's really an issue. they'll go down amazingly regardless of Dave's condition. sure that on stage energy he has won't be in full swing, but do you really think one guy sat/stood still instead of legging it about is gonna change the entire show? if anything it'll give the show a whole new level of impressiveness

[markrkp]

Florence and the Machine - stand-in headliners? really? poor. very poor. Come on Dave, we need you.

[kirstylaa]

Dave Grohl + Mobility scooter = a show.
