Oh, Dave Grohl, you lovable scamp!

We already know Grohl loves to have plenty of fun at shows and also loves to play practical jokes, so it's no surprise that he pranked an entire stadium full of rabid Foo Fighters fans. But this time he also managed to make fun of himself.

It was almost three years ago that -- while performing in Gothenburg, Sweden -- Grohl fell off the stage and broke his leg. Well, the band returned to Gothenburg on Tuesday night. At the start of the show, a stuntman dressed as Grohl ran out on stage and took what seemed to be a big, accidental tumble off the side of the stage to the shock of the thousands of fans in attendance.

Of course, Grohl was fine and was just having fun with both the audience and himself (you can see another angle here), so it's all well and good -- as long as he doesn't break any more bones.
