Balcony leap ends in carnage on last night of Foals tour

Cut Off Your Hands frontman Nick Johnston broke his foot after a 15-foot balcony leap last Thursday (November 29) at the Kingston upon Thames Works venue.

The singer received treatment at the Royal Sussex Hospital and is now sporting a plaster cast, which has delayed his return to his native Australia, forcing the cancellation of two gigs, one in Melbourne and one in Brisbane.

Johnston is expected to be fully recovered in time for the band’s scheduled UK live dates in February.
