Linkin Park

Despite breaking his arm early in Linkin Park’s set in Melbourne, Australia (Oct. 15), Chester managed to finish the entire concert before heading to the hospital. Chester suffered the break while attempting his trademark monkey jump from high atop Linkin Park’s stage when his foot got caught in the stairs and sent him plummeting backwards, falling awkwardly on his arm.The injury, which occurred around the third or fourth song of the set, did not deter Chester from performing onwards and finishing the concert for his adorning fans, despite severe swelling and excruciating pain (which undoubtedly lent more power to his screams). Fans in attendance were aware of the injury and were highly appreciative of Chester’s perseverance and selflessness. As they say in the entertainment industry: the show must go on. Video footage about the accident, including Chester receiving first aid behind the set and performing with a limp arm in tow, is at LinkinPark.com
