RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello got knocked off the stage during the band’s concert in Toronto Saturday night (July 23).
The incident happened during the final song, “Killing In The Name”, of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE‘s set at the Scotiabank Arena. After a fan (in a red shirt) sprinted toward the front of the stage, he was blocked by security and hurled off into the crowd. However, amid the chaos, security accidentally tackled Morello, knocking him down and off the front of the stage.
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE‘s “Public Service Announcement” tour is scheduled to continue tomorrow (Monday, July 25) in Buffalo, New York.
De La Rocha reportedly injured his leg four songs into the band’s set at the United Center, while Zack and his bandmates were performing “Bullet In The Head”, a classic song from the group’s 1992 self-titled debut album.
A short time later, De La Rocha told the crowd: “I don’t know what happened to my leg right now, but you know what? We’re gonna keep this fuckin’ shit goin’. If I have to crawl across this stage. We’re gonna play for y’all tonight. We came too fuckin’ far.”
“Forced birth in a country that is the only wealthy country in the world without any guaranteed paid parental leave at the national level,” read the screen for several seconds.
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE‘s comeback tour will continue through mid-August. The massive trek features support from RUN THE JEWELS.
This past January, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE postponed the start date of the U.S. leg of its “Public Service Announcement” tour to this summer. The North American leg of the trek was originally slated to begin in March 2020 before it was rescheduled several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 19 RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE shows that were supposed to take place between March 31 and May 23 will now take place in early 2023.
Prior to the current tour, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE last played together at L.A. Rising and has resisted calls for a reunion, with De La Rocha previously believed to be the lone holdout. Morello and his fellow RAGE bandmates Tim Commerford (bass) and Brad Wilk (drums) have since teamed up with PUBLIC ENEMY‘s Chuck D. and CYPRESS HILL‘s B-Real in the similarly styled PROPHETS OF RAGE.
