David Grohl's Comeback After Leg Injury: Foo Fighters Hits Stage In Washington

Foo Fighters front man, David Grohl returns performing on stage after a serious leg injury in June. The American rock band resumed performing at the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, DC, on Saturday, July 4, to celebrate Indenpence Day and the band's 20th anniversary, according to reports.

The 46-year old old rock star designed for himself a throne surrounded by guitars, lights and an amplifier so he could still perform without adding further injury to his leg all throughout the show.

The band's show in DC was their first comeback appearance since their last show in Gothenburg, Sweden, where Grohl obtained his leg fractures after he accidentally crossed the edge of the stage and fell off while performing.

Grohl was remembered finishing his performance amidst the leg accident and he had even promised his fans that Foo Fighters would return soon.

"A funny thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago," Grohl told the crowd. "I fell off the f*cking stage, so I then went to the hospital, but I said I'm not missing this [the DC] show for the world. Nothing is impossible!"

Grohl performed a row of songs during the night including "Learn to Fly," "All My Life," "Breakout," "Everlong," "Best of You" and "Big Me."

The Foo Fighters also covered Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure" and "For All The Cows," where Grohl's mother joined him on stage for a rendition.

The show had also attributed several supporting acts including Trouble Funk, Buddy Guy, LL Cool J, Trombone Story, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Gary Clark Jr., Heart and RDGLDGRN.

Liam Fray, The Courteeners front man, admitted he was really sorry to fans who must have felt really disappointment when the Foo Fighters cancelled the remainder of their June shows, which included Glastonbury Festival 2015.

However, he's sure that they'd be asked to join the event next year. "It's sad Dave broke his leg but it's not the end of the world, I'm sure they'll get another chance next year," Fray said.
