The gig occurred in Helsinki, Finland on Feb 24.

Slipknot just completed the U.K. and European leg of their tour supporting We Are Not Your KindUnfortunately, the last show in Finland didn’t go entirely as planned. 

Moments before going on stage, vocalist Corey Taylor was involved in a minor accident. 

An oxygen tank fell on his foot and Taylor believed it to be broken. 

“As I was coming up on the stage, an oxygen tank fell from a case and landed on my foot, and I’m fairly certain I have broken bones in my foot,” Corey Taylor told the crowd. 

“There’s no way that we’re not fucking playing this fucking show, I’m just letting you know. I may have to hobble around and just fight through it. But I’m gonna give you everything I’ve got, god damn it. Are you giving give me everything you’ve fucking got?”

Don’t worry though, maggots. Corey Taylor is okay. His wife Alicia later confirmed that nothing was broken. 

No, Corey didn’t break anything! An oxygen tank that was stored on a case fell on his foot as he was walking on stage. Yeah it hurt, that’s like a frozen turkey landing on your foot. But he powered through like the beast he is- iced it, and was alright the next day, just sore.
