The band have also been forced to pull out of all remaining shows on their UK and European tour, including at Wembley Stadium in London and Murrayfield in Edinburgh.

Grohl injured himself when he fell off the stage but managed to keep performing at a gig in the Ullevi Stadium in Sweden on 12 June.

He had surgery on Monday and doctors have subsequently ordered the cancellation of the concerts to aid his recovery.

The tumble happened during the second song of the band's set in Gothenburg and as he got up, Grohl told the worried crowd: "I think I really broke my leg."

The 46-year-old was carted off stage for medical attention, but he returned on a stretcher around an hour later with his right leg bandaged and elevated.

He finished the set - and a few hours later posted an X-ray image showing a clear fracture and the message: "Thank you Gothenburg. That was amazing."
