Rage Against the Machine’s Zack de la Rocha appears to injure leg during show, keeps playing
Rage Against the Machine finally began their reunion tour with Run The Jewels on Saturday (7/9) after many pandemic-related postponements, and like many other artists have been doing recently, the politically outspoken band have also used their shows to call for abortion rights. At Monday night's (7/11) show in Chicago, a roadblock showed up when frontman Zack de la Rocha appeared to injure his leg during the show, but he continued the set anyway. Consequence reports:
According to Consequence correspondent Allen Halas, de la Rocha sustained the injury four songs into the band’s main set at Chicago’s United Center. He was helped off stage by the band’s crew members, but after a brief break the concert resumed with de la Rocha performing while seated on a monitor. He attempted to stand up at various points, but was unable to put any weight on the leg.
Video of the concert shows that the apparent injury took place during "Bullet in the Head" — watch below.
The tour is scheduled to continue in Chicago tonight (7/12). Hopefully Zack's doing okay! All upcoming dates (five nights at Madison Square Garden included) are listed below.
