Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson has broken a rib whilst performing in the US in support of Green Day at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Wilson fell whilst jumping from the barrier to the stage, breaking his rib in the process.
Ricky Wilson has now received treatment for the break, and Kaiser Chiefs will still be battling on, not cancelling any of the arranged tour dates. Kaiser Chiefs will finish in America with a show at Lollapalooza on August 9th, and then head back to Europe to perform at a number of European festivals throughout the summer (including the Reading and Leeds Festival at the end of August).
