Most people get hit by a car and take a few days off.
Knocked Loose apparently get hit by a car, post a selfie, rate the recovery beverage and continue opening for Metallica.
“felt bad but got this boba after and it was really good.”
In what is objectively one of the more hardcore updates to come out of the heavy music world this week, Knocked Loose guitarist Isaac Hale revealed over the weekend that he’d been hit by a car while touring Europe.
Thankfully, the update appears to be more chaotic than catastrophic.
Posting a photo with his arm wrapped in a support bandage, Hale kept things characteristically understated, writing:
“tour update got hit by a car yesterday felt bad but got this boba after and it was really good.”
Honestly? Elite caption.
The incident came shortly after Knocked Loose played back-to-back shows in Zurich, Switzerland – and remarkably, doesn’t appear to have derailed the band’s absolutely stacked touring schedule.
Because yes, they are still out there doing support dates with Metallica.
The Louisville wrecking crew are currently deep into a monster run of summer shows that includes massive festival appearances at Primavera Sound, Rock for People and Graspop Metal Meeting, alongside stadium dates supporting literal metal institution Metallica.
As if that wasn’t enough, Knocked Loose also recently announced a North American co-headline run with Denzel Curry – a crossover lineup that feels aggressively 2026 in the best possible way.
The band have also started pulling back the curtain on life behind the scenes via a new YouTube documentary series, Wherever We May Roam, with the first episode capturing everything from European touring chaos to the moment they found out they’d landed the Metallica support slot.
So while getting hit by a moving vehicle probably wasn’t part of the itinerary… somehow this whole update still feels extremely Knocked Loose-coded.
Anyway, wishing Isaac a speedy recovery and continued access to quality boba.
