Mike Shinoda broke the news to fans on the Linkin Park Underground messsageboard. Here is what he had to say: yeah, chester broke his arm / wrist at the melbourne show. he broke it sometime around the fourth song in, and proceeded to play the entire show with a broken arm. it was amazing...thanks very much for your "get well" wishes, i'll pass them on. BTW, he says he'll be fine to do all the rest of the shows and meet and greets, so don't worry! more to come later
oh yeah, please spread the word so people know the shows and meet and greets are still going on, as planned--you know how internet rumors can get. his arm is in a lot of pain, but he said he's not going to cancel anything at this point.
