American Idol Runner Up Bo Bice Breaks His Foot  8/3/05

American Idol runner-up Bo Bice is nursing a broken foot, after injuring himself during a New Hampshire concert on Sunday (31JUL05).

The long-haired rocker, 29, slipped on stage as he sang I Don't Want to Be at the American Idols Live gig in Manchester's Verizon Wireless Arena, but bravely carried on performing.

Bice tells MTV News, "There's a part where I go running across the stage and do these jump-ups and flip around in circles and normally I wear cowboy boots, but about three or four shows ago, they started sliding on me.

"I was worried I was gonna trip and fall and hurt myself, so I changed to tennis shoes and they got a lot better grip, too good of a grip.

"(After slipping) I tried to stand back up and just collapsed. I thought, 'Something's not good here.'

"I think I'm gonna get away with wearing an air cast and I'm going to have to use this bone-regenerator kinda thing. It's looking like no more running around for the rest of the tour. I'm gonna be stuck trying to pull off a piano song or something."

Bice lost out to country singer Carrie Underwood in the American Idol final in May (05).
