Airbourne mainman Joel O’Keeffe was injured during the band’s recent set in British Columbia, Canada.

Fan-shot footage of the incident at CJ’s Nightclub in Kamloops show O’Keeffe taking a tumble during encore Running Wild. Road crew are then seen helping him back onstage. And although he seems to be in some discomfort, he carries on with the track. Watch it below.

Shawn Pooley, who caught the moment on camera, reports that a chair was eventually brought out for O’Keeffe to finish the set.

Airbourne have been on the road in support of their fourth album Breakin’ Outta Hell, which was released on September 23 via Spinefarm Records.
