Chester Bennington broke his arm during a show in Australia this weekend, it has been confirmed.

The Linkin Park star fell from the stage four songs into the band's concert in Melbourne, but played on despite the injury.

Guitarist and co-vocalist Mike Shinoba confirmed news of the incident on the band's forum, after Bennington completed the gig at the Rod Laver arena strapped up.

Speaking on the forum on their official website, Shinoba said it was "amazing" that the singer was able to continue, commenting: "Yeah, Chester broke his arm/wrist at the Melbourne show. He broke it sometime around the fourth song in, and proceeded to play the entire show with a broken arm."

Linkin Park's tour is expected to continue unaffected.
