After the mistaken tackle, Morello was fine and returned to the stage. TMZ reports that he gave a small wave to his fans to ease fears of him being hurt by the fall.
The security guard should receive a small round of applause. The whole thing happens lightning fast and security is ready to go almost immediately. Morello was in an unfortunate location at the time it went down.
However, the outlet says it is Rage’s tour was far from the worst.. The COVID-19 pandemic, the voided few years and other obstacles have made this reunion difficult. Zack de la Rocha, the singer, was injured in an earlier performance and has been forced from performing since.
