Howard Donald injury

Early performances of the tour featured a "dance-off" routine by band members in the middle of the song "Sure." Band member Howard Donald suffered a cracked rib and a collapsed lung during this part of the 26 October show in Vienna. His injuries caused him to miss seven shows and limited his performance in subsequent concerts. He rejoined the band at the 7 November Oberhausen show.[citation needed]
