A couple of weekends ago, Martin Garrix was performing on stage when he suffered a terrible ankle injury. The DJ/producer pushed through most of his set, but ultimately left in an ambulance.

Now, we’re learning the serious nature of the injury. To avoid making things worse, Garrix has been instructed by medical professionals to keep off his feet for the next four weeks. In turn, the touring act is being forced to cancel his upcoming gigs.

Here’s the press statement, straight from his team:

It is with deepest regrets that Martin Garrix has to announce that he is forced to cancel all his shows the coming weeks due to a serious ankle injury suffered during his show in Las Vegas on May 25th.
Even though feeling positive after some days of rest, further examinations have determined that all his ankle ligaments are torn and surgery is needed to prevent permanent damage to his ankle. Therefore Garrix is forced to follow the specialist’s advice and cancel all his shows for at least the upcoming four weeks.

Garrix: ’’I’m devastated that I have to cancel these shows since nothing makes me happier than performing for you guys. I feel most alive when I’m on stage, seeing you guys smile. I was really looking forward to it and I never want to disappoint my fans. Unfortunately this is out of my control and I will need a surgery and enough rest to fully recover. If I won’t get surgery now I might permanently damage my ankle, which could mean I won’t be able to perform at all anymore. I want to thank everyone for their continuous support and I hope to be able to get back on stage to perform for you guys again really soon.’’

Get well soon!
