There are no details on how Chino injured this most sensitive area. He has made headlines lately by mouthing off about other bands, even some on the Summer Sanitarium tour, but those offended bands publicly brushed those comments aside. But who knows? Maybe when Chino was least expecting it, someone backstage got payback with a knee to groin? Or was it an over enthusiastic groupie? The mysteries of rock abound. 

Meanwhile, Chino and crew are expected back on stage this Friday when the tour hits Denver.
