Children Of Bodom drummer Jaska W. Raatikainen has broken a rib, but - being the unstoppable metal machine he is - Jaska has no intentions to break off their current tour.\"Just to inform you all that I broke a rib a few days ago. I have been taken really strong medicine since the Gothenborg show [on February 3] because I wouldn\'t have been able to play a note because of the unbearable pain. I have been eating them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and after the show and trying to finish the tour somehow. So, what I\'m trying to say is that if we are playing shorter shows or whatever, it\'s nothing but saving my body for the rest of the shows.\"
Raatikainen is not the only injured band member: Children Of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho broke a toe on his right foot during a show in Barcelona on January 21, 2006 by slamming it into a monitor wedge.
Children Of Bodom are in the middle of a European headlining tour with Ektomorf and One Man Army And The Undead Quartet.
It will be followed by a North American tour with Chimaira and Through The Eyes Of The Dead, which will kick off on March 18 in New Haven, Connecticut.
God Forbid will replace Chimaira beginning on March 25 in Columbus, Ohio.
