The Ocean - Vocalist Breaks Both Legs, Leaves Tour
While touring North America with Leprous, The Ocean vocalist Loïc Rossetti broke both of his legs. Loïc was able to perform and suffer through two shows with the band before departing back to Switzerland for surgery.
Statement from the band: "Loïc literally went a little too far and broke both of his legs 2 days ago, he's got 4 fractures in total and needs surgery. He still played the L.A. show with us in a wheelchair yesterday despite being in severe pain, and he will perform with us one last time tonight in Berkeley. Then he will be transferred to Switzerland for surgery.
"The show must go on, we will continue this tour without him. We will play Phanerozoic II in its entirety for the next few shows, and run his vocals as backing tracks. We've always thought it's super lame to do that, but under the given circumstances it seems like the best option and we trust you agree that this is no Milli Vanilli situation.
"By all means, please DO come out to the remaining shows to support us in these difficult times. This tour has been such a blast so far, it's a big blow for us as you can imagine and of course for Loïc more than anything."

All I can think of is Armin in Attack on Titan that one time falling down a stairwell breaking both of his legs.

Kind of convenient, that the tour they're about to support Karnivool on, is called "The Regeneration Tour"

I broke both my arms at a metal show once. Well, my right arm and left wrist. Kudos to the guy for playing two shows with broken legs. Not being able to use two of the same limbs is not fun at all.
