Rock-and-roll dad Dave Grohl fell off the stage while playing Gothenburg, Sweden’s Ullevi Stadium on Friday night, breaking his leg. The Foo Fighters frontman got bandaged up backstage and finished the set sitting down. Is this metal, or nah?

Not metal: Falling of the stage.

Metal: Breaking your leg.

Not metal: The Foo Fighters, if we’re being honest.

Metal: Finishing the set with a broken leg.

Conclusion: This is metal.
