Billy Strings Broke His Leg Skateboarding Backstage Before His Encore And Postponed Tour Dates

Billy Strings broke his leg Saturday night right before he could come out for his encore.  He tried to do a backside 180 trick on his skateboard and landed awkwardly and heard it snap.

“Well, can’t say y’all didn’t warn me about screwing around on my skateboard!! Saturday night I walked off stage right before the encore I was all zazzed up from a really fun show. I grabbed my board and tried to do a trick I’ve done a million times (back 180) and landed awkwardly and broke my leg.

I heard it snap over the screaming crowd!! Sounded like a damn 2×4.”

He had to postpone his tour dates to later this year in order to heal. Although, he wanted to perform onstage with a broken foot and “Dave Grohl” it. Billy said, “he even texted me and offered me the throne!” Which was very nice of him to offer that to Billy to
