GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Foo Fighters’ lead singer Dave Grohl reunited with a paramedic who famously held Grohl’s leg in place while he finished a concert.

In 2015, Grohl was only two songs into his set in Sweden when he fell, breaking his leg.

“I think I just broke my leg again. I think I really broke my leg. So you have my promise, right now, that the Foo Fighters, we’re gonna come back and finish the show,” Grohl said after the incident. “But right now … I’m gonna go to the hospital, I’m gonna fix my leg, but then I’m gonna come back, and we’re gonna play for you again. I’m so sorry.”

After an intermission, Grohl returned to the stage with a paramedic named Johan holding his leg in place while he sat in a chair.

Radio.com reported that Grohl reunited with the paramedic recently while on tour and took a photo with him, posting on the band’s Facebook page.
