Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie broke his ankle during a show last weekend.

The singer sustained the injury during the band’s performance at Pompano Beach, Florida on May 29.

In a fan-shot video, Urie can be seen removing his sock and shoe to reveal a large, round lump on his ankle. Despite his injury, the singer carried on performing with an icepack wrapped around his leg to reduce the swelling.

“My left leg is done for the show, if you don’t mind,” Urie told the crowd. “We’re just going to let it chill out and get drunk. The show will go on if you’ll have us.”

What a trooper.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has revealed that the Californian punks have been working on their follow-up to 2009′s 21st Century Breakdown.

“OK, here’s the scoop,” writes Armstrong in a post on Twitter. “[Green Day] has been jamming new songs everyday. There’s a tonne of new songs. The direction is fresh and high energy. Feels great.

“I don’t want to give away too much but just know that me, Mike [Dirnt, bass] and Tre [Cool, drums] and Jason [Freese, keyboards] are collaborating and having the best time playing music. And that’s not bullshit!!

Slash has told Kerrang! that he will be taking time out of his European travels to watch today’s FA Cup final between his hometown club Stoke City and Manchester City.

“I’m gonna watch the match from [France],” the guitarist tells Kerrang!. “I’m a football fan and I always root for Stoke because they’re the underdog. They’re a great team but they never quite make it.”

Will there be chants of ‘We only score from a throw in!’ coming from his hotel room? Only time will tell.

[Update: No. Stoke lost 1-0.]

Slash recently announced details of a UK headline tour, which takes place around his festival performances at T In The Park, Oxegen, and London’s High Voltage.

Tickets are onsale now from Aloud. Slash will release a new single, Starlight, on July 25.

New Found Glory have named their forthcoming album Radiosurgery. The details were revealed during an online chat with the quintet on May 13.

“Radiosurgery is a medical procedure that allows non-invasive treatment of benign and malignant tumours,” explain the band in a post on their official site. “Some have already used our record title as an analogy referring to the state of popular music or songs they hear on the radio. Saying it needs some fixing – or surgery. Music is healing. You can find a song from your favourite band that relates to a tough situation in your life and listening to it helps you. You could say that’s some sort of radiosurgery.”

The band are currently putting the finishing touches to the album with producer Neal Avron, who helmed three of their previous efforts. No release date for the album has been set.

While walking in his neighborhood one night last June, Chicago-based Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone tried to assist a woman who was being assaulted by her husband. During the altercation, the man crushed Leone’s skull. At the hospital, the rocker flatlined three times, underwent two surgeries and had one-third of his skull removed.
