*Story developing*
The Foo Fighters have confirmed the cancellation of their headline slot at next week’s Glastonbury Festival following Dave Grohl’s injury last week.
Writing on their official website, a spokesperson confirmed the news, saying:
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.
It was previously announced that Foo Fighters’ June 14 appearance at the Pinkpop Festival and June 16 show at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland were cancelled. The following dates have now been cancelled as well:
June 19 & 20 – London, UK – Wembley Stadium
June 23 – Edinburgh, UK – BT Murrayfield Stadium
June 25 – Werchter, Belgium – Festivalpark Werchter
June 26 – Glastonbury Festival 2015
More as we hear it. A replacement has yet to be confirmed, however earlier today, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis confirmed a ‘back-up plan’ in case the inevitable happened. Glastonbury Festival’s official Twitter account also confirmed the news moments ago, whilst the festival’s official website has told “A new Friday night headliner will be announced soon”.
