Panic! At The Disco's Brendon Urie speaks about his ankle injury and tour status

Panic! At The Disco's Brendon Urie has checked in about last night's ankle injury and the status of the band's current tour. Via P!ATD's publicist, Urie says in a statement:

Date & Time: 10:25 p.m., May 29, 2011

Place: Pompano Beach Amphitheater, Florida

Situation: Critical

Well… It's kinda funny, actually. In the middle of the show, I usually
sprint around the venue to get to the front of house to play an acoustic
number face-to-face with the fans. The song went over just fine, but on
the way back to the stage I lost balance trying to sprint down some
stairs. Rolled my ankle and felt something tear in my foot. When I
crawled back to the stage, I felt a need to look at my injury. My ankle
had swelled up to the size of a pool-ball, but the adrenaline had helped
to subdue the pain. Got an OCL splint from the hospital where the doctor
told me not to walk on it for at least 3 weeks.

Well, Doc, I don't have 3 weeks. The shows will go on.
