Foo Fighters' Guitarist Broke His Foot in a "Bizarre Gardening Accident"
The Foo Fighters are poking fun at their guitarist, Pat Smear, who has to miss a few shows because he broke his left foot. They're calling it a "bizarre gardening accident, which is, of course, a nod to "This Is Spinal Tap.
Foo Fighters said, quote, "In the classic tradition of rockstars having bizarre gardening accidents, Pat Smear has apparently rung in the new year by smashing the [crap] out of his left foot."
They also posted a photo of Pat flipping off the camera while being taken away in a gurney.
The guitarist for Beck and St. Vincent will fill in for Pat while he's out.
