I'm seeing him at Murrayfield....and i want a reduction in my ticket price because he won't be running around.

I reckon Dave will be half the man he was at my previous Foo's concert where he was jumping running and jumping some more.

So half the ticket price should be honoured , whaddaya reckon?

I'd be amazed if the Wembley gigs go ahead. They have just cancelled the next two gigs on the 14th and 16th

Just seen this info myself frown
I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the euro gigs get pulled tbh.
I've got tickets for next Saturday, and will be gutted if its pulled but I guess it would make sense. I've been looking forward to this for months.

If it's cancelled, does anyone know what happens? A re-schedule or refund?

could be either, I had tickets for blink 182 in 2011 and it got cancelled for similar reasons, they rescheduled for the following year and said you could either keep your ticket or get a refund if you didn't want to go again

I think they'll try their best to do the shows with dave in a cast/ moonboot either sitting or standing for some of the show. mainly because the current headline tour gigs are in stadiums. I imagine the late pull out/ cancellation will cost an absolute fortune (will be covered by insurance, but still a headache). So to try and reschedule stadium gigs will be a nightmare, will they get decent dates next summer (i imagine stadiums get booked for this stuff way in advance)??

I reckon dave will be getting some good pain killers and they do the tour, if he can wear a moon boot/cast type thing and still stand. i reckon the fallout from some below par gigs (people will let it slide cos he's injured) will be easier to deal with than the insurance nightmare of cancelling a tour and/or rescheduling!

i'll be gutted though, as i was very disappointed with the last show i seen (meadowbank stadium edinburgh) thought it was very average and they played 1hr 15mins or something for a full headline show. so i hoped this gig was going to make me change my opinion of them. but not looking likely...... oh well at least i have AC/DC the sunday after this one.

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.

June 19 & 20 - London, UK - Wembley Stadium

Gutted, but not surprised really. Oh well it was only my first proper big day out in a year. I'm bloody cursed.
Have to wait and see what they will do, re-schedule at a later day hopefully. Next year i guess.

Poo sticks, can't blame him though and too be honest I'd rather have healed and charging round the stage than just sat there.

Going to be awesome seeing him play walk, it'll be there new anthem.
