WATCH: Florence and The Machine’s emotional Foo Fighters cover at Glastonbury! | Dave Grohl Breaks Leg

by • June 27, 2015

Florence Welch delivers a respect-paying cover of Foo Fighters’ “Times Like These” at Glastonbury 2015. The Foo Fighters canceled their headlining spot after lead singer, Dave Grohl, broke his leg after falling 12 feet off a stage in Sweden, during “Monkey Wrench,” their second song in the set (he came back out and finished the fucking set, with a broken leg, too). Here’s an excerpt from Dave Grohl’s note about the incident:

The funniest thing happened to me the other day in Sweden! 

Two songs into our set at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, I made a mad dash to the right of the stage during MONKEY WRENCH to shred some tasty licks for the kids up front. It was a beautiful night, beautiful stadium, 52,000 screaming people….dream gig! Well….wait for it….I definitely shredded something (ZING!) Wound up feet first over the Edge (pun intended), dropping about 12 feet, dislocating my ankle and snapping my fibula like an old pair of take out chopsticks. Whoopsie daisy. Not good. Without realizing the extent of my injuries, I stood up to get back onstage and crumbled like a sack of Joe Theismanns (look it up, kiddies). That shit was B-R-O-K-E. Read more.

As a result of Dave’s injury, Florence and The Machine were bumped up to the headlining spot of the Glastonbury festival due to short notice. Here’s what Florence Welch had to say about Dave Grohl before performing a cover of “Times Like These,” video below.

“We’d like to dedicate this next song to the legend, and all around incredible human being, Dave Grohl.

He was so incredibly kind and supportive to us when we were starting out.

Dave, if you’re listening, we love you, we all love you. We’re sending you so much love!“
