Foo Fighters’ Pat Smear Breaks Foot In Gardening Accident, Will Not Perform On Throne

A little over a decade ago, Dave Grohl broke his leg onstage in Sweden, prompting the Foo Fighters to cancel a bunch of tour dates before the frontman eventually returned to perform in an ergonomic motorized throne. Now, unfortunately, his bandmate Pat Smear has succumbed to a similar fate, having recently “smashed the shit out of his left foot” during a “bizarre gardening accident.” Beck/St. Vincent collaborator Jason Falkner will be filling in for Smear on the Foos’ tour dates for the foreseeable future until his foot fully heals.
