Foo Fighters<\/strong> have announced that guitarist Pat Smear<\/strong> will be temporarily sidelined after suffering a painful injury over the New Year.<\/p>\n In a statement shared by the band, Foo Fighters<\/strong> revealed \u2014 tongue firmly in cheek \u2014 that Smear<\/strong> rang in the new year in “the classic tradition of rockstars having bizarre gardening accidents,” resulting in multiple broken bones in his left foot.<\/p>\n “This means he’ll unfortunately be missing a few shows while the multiple broken bones in his foot heal,” the band wrote. “We’ll miss our beloved Pat<\/strong> as much as you will, but we want him fully healed and back on his feet as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n While Smear<\/strong> recovers, Jason Falkner<\/strong> \u2014 the acclaimed guitarist known for his work with Beck<\/strong>, St. Vincent<\/strong>, and Jellyfish<\/strong> \u2014 will step in to cover guitar duties for the affected dates.<\/p>\n No further details have been shared regarding how long Smear<\/strong> will be out, but the band made it clear that his return will come once he’s fully healed. Fans can expect Foo Fighters<\/strong> to continue as scheduled in the meantime, with Falkner<\/strong> filling the role until Smear<\/strong> is ready to rejoin the stage.
