Bo Bice's Bad Break
Apparently Bo Bice's boots aren't made for walkin'.
The American Idol runner-up broke his foot during an American Idols Live! show Sunday night in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The break occurred as he belted out "I Don't Wanna Be," his concert-opening number.
In spite of the break, both the show and Bice went on, with the latter finishing the show. He vows to finish the remaining 28 dates with the aid of an aircast.
"As far as continuing the tour is concerned, there's nothing to worry about," the trouper told People magazine. "There's no keeping me from the tour."
He's scheduled to take the stage with his fellow Idol finalists in Cleveland Tuesday night.
Bice blames the break, incidentally, on his lack of boots--the long-haired, Alabama-born crooner shelved his beloved cowboy kicks for tennis shoes when the rigors of multiple performances got to be too much for his feet.
"I run around the stage a lot, and normally I wear the boots," he told People. "Except three or four shows ago they started to slip," and tennis shoes were introduced.
But, alas, "tennis shoes rip," Bice explained. Speaking to MTV, Bice said landed wrong and felt a snap: "I tried to stand back up and just collapsed. I thought, 'Something's not good here.' "
Bice said the break will put the kibosh on his stage antics. "It's looking like no more running around for the rest of the tour," he lamented to MTV. "I'm gonna be stuck trying to pull off a piano song or something."
In spite of the bad break, it appears to be smooth sailing on the career front for Bice. His first single, "Inside Your Heaven"/"Vehicle," opened at number one on the singles charts, knocking Idol winner Carrie Underwood's version of the same song down to number two.
He says his upcoming debut album is also moving forward and will hopefully not be interrupted by the faulty foot. "My days off are spent recording," he said. "Hopefully, this won't hurt it."
Bice is also solid on the home front. He tied the knot in June with longtime girlfriend Caroline Fisher. Said Bice to People: "Life is good."
