Rapper Smudo (54) from the hip-hop group Die Fantastischen Vier injured himself during a performance in Bonn on Friday.
As the band announced on their Facebook page on Saturday, the musician "tore a tendon in his knee during the encore on stage".
Unfortunately, the concert planned for this Saturday at the Schlossgarten Open Air in Osnabrück has to be postponed.
"We're trying to find an alternative date in 2023, tickets remain valid," said Fanta 4.
Smudo, whose real name is Michael Bernd Schmidt, has lived in Hamburg for decades.
The concert organizer announced that he had an unfortunate fall in the encore part of the almost two-hour concert on the Hofgartenwiese in front of Bonn University.
Before that, the four rappers would have delivered a concert that was euphorically celebrated by 14,000 spectators.
The Fantastischen Vier are regarded as the pioneers of German recitative, and in 1989 the band gave their first concert under this name.
