James Bay performs with broken ankle at Bon Jovi gig
James Bay performed with a broken ankle during his warm-up set at Wembley Stadium for Bon Jovi
James Bay came on stage in a wheelchair to support Bon Jovi at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday.
The Brit Award-winning singer-songwriter, born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, had broken his ankle the day before.
The 36-year-old had to perform while sitting down, with his left leg and ankle in a cast.
In a caption on Instagram, the venue said the star had broken "his ankle on Tuesday... but still supported Bon Jovi on Wednesday".
Bon Jovi have been performing their Forever Tour at Wembley Stadium
In a separate social media post, Wembley Stadium said: "Pain is temporary. Wembley is forever".
Concert-goers praised Bay on social media for still turning out for the gig after he was said to have suffered the injury while playing football.
Bay rose to fame in 2014 after a video of him playing at a London open mic night led to him signing a record deal.
Some of his best-known hits include Let it Go and Hold Back The River, with both on his set-list at Wembley.
