“I had communications with people on his team this morning (Tuesday), people who are on the road with him at the moment. They told me he had treatments this morning and so far they are optimistic, it seems light and he could normally do the (second) show tonight in Chicago. If they consider doing the show in Chicago, that's great news," said FEQ programming director Louis Bellavance, who says he is confident.

“Does it take place on two legs, one and a half legs or on crutches? We do not know, but we will welcome Zack de la Rocha in any condition, as long as it is not a loss of voice.

The RATM singer was injured during the first of two concerts at the United Center in Chicago on Monday night after just four songs. He was still able to finish the show by singing while sitting on a monitor.
