Video: Rage Against The Machine’s Zack de la Rocha Injures Leg Onstage, Finishes Set Seated
Right now, Rage Against The Machine are performing for the first time since 2011 on their long-awaited reunion tour. However, the band hit a snag at last night’s show in Chicago when frontman Zack de la Rocha injured his leg, and was forced to finish the band’s set seated on a monitor.
As you can see in the fan-shot video below from YouTuber Caleb Crockett, midway through performing “Bullet In The Head” (at about the 3:26 mark), Zack jumps in the air and leaps around the stage. Then, all of a sudden, Zack is very still, crouching, and, upon the next chorus, hopping a little. Then, in a video taken by YouTuber The Pistol777, we can see that Zack performed “Testify” from while seated/leaning on a monitor. If we had to guess, the dude landed wrong on those jumps during “Bullet…” and is now having a tough time.
Anyway, our best to Zack, and we hope he makes a speedy recovery. Catch RATM live, perhaps with less jumping, at one of the following dates:
