The emo trooper has posted a picture of the swollen appendage online

Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz broke his foot onstage at the Voodoo Music Experience festival in New Orleans on October 28, and has posted a picture of the injury online.

Writing on his blog, beneath a picture of his swollen, bruised foot, Wentz, who once considered a career as a footballer, revealed that he broke his foot by dancing too frenetically, but the injury would not force the band to cancel any shows.

“For anyone who was at the Voodoo Fest, you got to see me jump around,” he wrote. “I ended up breaking the bone that connects my shin to my foot.

"No shows will be cancelled. I am currently trying to get a ‘rocker’ boot, so I can have a walking cast. Currently my foot is the size of a small car. If you see me at a show come sign my cast.”
