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.
