Kaiser Chief Breaks Rib

Rock 'n' roll just ain't authentic without the odd injury.

Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson broke a rib on Tuesday while the band opened for Green Day at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Wilson "fell jumping between the barrier and the stage, breaking a rib in the process whilst the band had been playing," a statement from the band read, according to NME.com.

A single broken rib isn't enough to keep Wilson down, though.

"The rest of the shows will still go ahead as they criss-cross America — Ricky's had treatment and decided the tour goes on," the statement continues.

Wilson's no amateur when it comes to injuries — he broke his ankle in Seattle in March 2005, and suffered ankle ligament damage during the 2007 Austin City Limits Festival.

That Wilson will battle on through this injury must also feel pretty good considering their arch-enemies couldn't continue touring when one of them suffered a similar injury.
