Tom Morello recently opened up to RollingStone about Rage Against the Machine’s halted tour.
He told the outlet that after Zach de la Roca injured his achilles heel, he was still “more compelling as a frontman sitting on a box in the middle of the stage than 99 percent of the frontmen in the history of all time. “
He added that the band had to skip their world tour because of “Doctor’s orders. I don’t know all the details, but there’s dangers of flying. There’s danger of blood clots and all that. I wasn’t in the room. But it’s not the optimum care to be on the road with a newly-ruptured Achilles.”
