Airbourne's Joel O'Keeffe injures leg in nasty fall off stage in Canada
Watch footage of the incident
Proof that he’s rock n’ roll to the bone, Airbourne singer Joel O’Keeffe took a nasty fall off stage in Canada but returned to the fray to finish the gig.
The Australian hard rockers were midway through their set closer Runnin’ Wild at Cactus Jacks in Kamloops on 22nd September when Joel lost his footing and fell off stage.
Visibly hurt, Joel, ever the consummate professional, was helped back on his feet by his crew and he battled through to complete the song.
Despite tearing ligaments in his left leg, Joel has successfully completed Airbourne’s subsequent shows in Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon while wearing a cast.
