Cage the Elephant guitarist suffers serious leg injury

 

Cage the Elephant guitarist Nick Bockrath suffered a pretty gnarly leg injury on stage in Europe, and it is forcing the band to cancel some shows.

According to Consequence of Sound, Bockrath got hurt at Netherland’s Pinkpop festival. Bockrath is enduring a ruptured PCL, a torn ACL, a weakened meniscus, and a broken tibia. The injury forced the band to cancel shows on their summer run of Europe.

Cage the Elephant is touring behind their latest fantastic album ‘Social Cues’. They are currently still scheduled to play the Hunnington Bank Pavillion next month on Chicago’s lakefront. You can enter to win tickets for that show in our Contest section.
