Rage Against The Machine Cancel UK & European Tour
The planned UK and European tour dates for Rage Against The Machine aren’t happening. The tour was originally put off due to the pandemic, but this cancellation has been caused by the leg injury Zack de la Rocha suffered on July 11th in Chicago.
During the Chicago show, de la Rocha injured his leg during a performance of “Bullet in the Head,” and finished the show sitting on a stage monitor, and he finished the tour sitting down for the performances. In the statement announcing the cancellation, the band said, “Per medical guidance, Zack de la Rocha has been advised that the August and September 2022 UK and European leg of the Rage Against The Machine tour cannot proceed.”
The band will finish their North American tour at Madison Square Garden this weekend.

Green Day Invites 10-Year-Old Fan To Jam With Them
On Thursday, Green Day shared footage from their August 6th show at the Outside Lands festival, and at one point Billie Joe Armstrong invited a 10-year-old in the crowd named Montgomery onto the stage to play with the band, asking him, “Do you really know how to play? Alright, kid – get your a** up here!”
Once the boy got on stage, Armstrong helped him into a white guitar, which he used to play along with the band while they did a cover of Operation Ivy’s 1989 track “Knowledge.” After the song, Armstrong told Montgomery that he could keep the guitar and hugged him.

Thanks, Gary parker, for sending this into me.
Dave couldn't sing properly that night due to his fucked up throat, so Taylor ended up aiding him with his amazing vocal performance. Taylor's Foo Fighters' role is irreplaceable.
