In a clip shared on social media, Fran said: "Hi everyone, it's Fran here. If anyone saw me being wheeled out of the venue last night on a gurney and being put into an ambulance it's because I twisted, seriously twisted my ankle stepping off stage, as I was waving goodbye to everyone.
"It sort of twisted around back to front. We thought it was broken, and went to the hospital, thankfully it's just a really gnarly sprain and I've got one of these massive big space shoes now.
"So, when you turn up to Salt Lake City, you can all laugh at that. The show must go on. I'm fine, I'm slightly dizzy just now because I'm on some painkillers but apart from that it's all good."
Meanwhile, announcing his injury on Twitter/X, the band's account wrote: "If anyone saw Fran being put into an ambulance after our Seattle show, no you didn’t.
