Richard Hawley plays gig with broken leg

The singer snapped his fibula bone after falling down a flight of stairs recently, but he refused to let his injury affect his summer shows and was wheeled onto the stage at the Suffolk, England event by Elbow frontman Guy Garvey.

Hawley even poked fun at his ailment, joking to the crowd: "Before I left the house, my wife said, 'Good luck, break a leg.' She who must be obeyed."

Rocker Paul Weller is set to close the event on Sunday night. British band Elbow were the headliners on Saturday.
