Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker fractures hip; see image

Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker suffered a broken hip after running a marathon. He was rescued by plane, according to the images. The band has a show scheduled at Lollapalooza.

The singer took to social media to talk about the incident that led him to undergo emergency surgery on February 21st. However, he said the band’s performances are being held.

“I broke my hip. Tried to run a half marathon on what turned out to be an existing stress fracture. Oops. Made it within 1km of the finish. That’s life, I guess. All the shows in Mexico and South America will go ahead as planned, I will not give up on you,” he wrote.

The band will perform at the São Paulo festival between the 24th and 26th of this month. The group also performed at Lollapalooza in 2016.

Repercussion

On Twitter, fans have commented on the succession of situations with the main attractions of the last few days. So far, four have already canceled shows at the festival due to issues.

“Headlining Lollapalooza Brasil has become a curse,” wrote one profile. “Lollapalooza is really the reason for my breakdown. How can you announce the cancellation of a show on the day the times are announced?” asked another. “Wow, whoever goes to Lolla takes rock salt”, published another.
