Currently on tour around the country and having stirred up some controversy at their Perth stop, The Smith Street Band's Wil Wagner seems to have injured his leg at last night's Melbourne show.

As our reviewer notes, Wagner tells the Max Watt's crowd that he has "re-injured" the leg he hurt during the band's Adelaide show. 

"Maybe I'll play the rest of these shows in a wheelchair like a fat, modern day Axl Rose," he laughs. "That's basically my music bio and my Tinder profile."

After the high-energy set, Wagner reportedly limps out on stage to say, "I think I've broken my leg … so if anyone needs me after the show I'm going to the hospital."
