Rage Against the Machine cancels tour after Zack de la Rocha suffers leg injury

Rage Against the Machine has canceled the rest of its North American tour after singer Zack de la Rocha suffered a leg injury “that requires a lot of work and healing.”

In a statement, De la Rocha confirmed Tuesday that he sustained a “severe tear” in his left Achilles’ tendon. Though 8% of his tendon is still intact, “Even that portion was severely compromised,” the vocalist explained. The injury occurred in July while De la Rocha was onstage performing with the rap-rock band at Chicago’s United Center.

“It’s been almost three months since Chicago, and I still look down at my leg in disbelief,” De la Rocha said in his statement.
