Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie Injures His Ankle During Show

UPDATE
Urie says in a statement:

Date & Time: 10:25 p.m., May 29, 2011
Place: Pompano Beach Amphitheater, Florida
Situation: Critical

Well… It’s kinda funny, actually. In the middle of the show, I usually
sprint around the venue to get to the front of house to play an acoustic
number face-to-face with the fans. The song went over just fine, but on
the way back to the stage I lost balance trying to sprint down some
stairs. Rolled my ankle and felt something tear in my foot. When I
crawled back to the stage, I felt a need to look at my injury. My ankle
had swelled up to the size of a pool-ball, but the adrenaline had helped
to subdue the pain. Got an OCL splint from the hospital where the doctor
told me not to walk on it for at least 3 weeks.

Well, Doc, I don’t have 3 weeks. The shows will go on.

During last night’s Panic! At The Disco show in Pompano Beach, Florida, frontman Brendon Urie injured his ankle. NME reported that he hurt himself after getting back on stage after going into the crowd. He later took off his boot and showed the audience how swollen it was. He tweeted:

Thank you to everyone who sang with us tonight at the show! Here’s how it ended for me.

Sleeping like this tonight. And it’s all my fault..
