NEW YORK (AFP) - Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl gave new meaning on Friday to the advice for performers to "break a leg" after he fell from stage and returned to play in a cast.

Grohl, the former drummer of Nirvana, was performing in Gothenburg, Sweden, when he tumbled during the second song and badly injured himself, according to several pictures and videos on social media.
