Wolfgang Van Halen Sprains Ankle, Plays Show Seated

Wolfgang Van Halen powered through a sprained ankle by playing his show last night (October 20) seated.

He shared before the show, "Ate s--- walking off the bus this morning and sprained the F--- outta my ankle. Now I gotta rock this boot for 4-6 weeks. Looks like this boot’s gonna get some show experience. We’ll seeya tonight, Huntsville."

Wolfgang followed that up with, "Ok soundcheck was …interesting. Looks like I’m gonna be Dave Grohl-ing it tonight, folks. Be patient with me haha."

Fortunately, the show went off without a hitch even though Wolfgang had to remain seated for it. He wrote, "Welp… Never done that before, but we pulled it off! Thanks to Huntsville for making it such a special show!!" Along with the tweet, he shared a gnarly photo of his very swollen ankle writing, "Also, check out how f---ed my ankle is in that 3rd pic."

Fortunately, Wolfgang is just dealing with a sprain, but here's hoping he heals up quickly!
