During Fall Out Boy’s performance at this weekend’s Voodoo Festival in New Orleans (see the gallery here), bassist Pete Wentz broke the bone that connects the foot to the shin. We’re assuming that’s the upper cankle, but there’s probably a more anatomically correct term for it. Wentz says the injury occurred while jumping around onstage, while other reports blame a posse of Rage Against the Machine fans sporting voodoo dolls. Either way, Wentz now has a good excuse to post pictures of his swollen Hobbit’s foot in his blog. “ive got good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?” is the name of the post that is oddly lacking the promised good news. He does assuage fears of concert cancellations, assuring that FOB won’t miss any shows thanks to the “rocker boot” (cast) on Wentz’s “small car sized” foot. In other news, Fall Out Boy has easily defeated Matchbox Twenty in the “Fans’ Gender Divide” category. Matchbox Twenty set the bar last week with 233 ladies in 236 comments in response to their radio controversy, but FOB blows them away by operating at a slightly higher ninety-nine percent female quotient in comments. Wentz, the trophy is yours — that is, until Panic! At the Disco breaks something.
