Now this is the real deal.  So many of today's primadonna "stars" could take a few notes.  Despite crushing some of the bones in his foot in an equipment malfunction, country star Kenny Chesney decides the show must go on:

Chesney's foot was stuck for about 30 seconds between the stage and a lift that elevated him to the stage at Williams-Brice Stadium, according to CMT.

The singer was limping and holding his knee, CMT reported.

After the show, doctors from the University of South Carolina cut off Chesney's boot to minimize damage.

"I took one look at those fans, and there was no way I wasn't going on," Chesney said in a statement. "Sometimes the energy and the adrenalin pull you through."

He added, "They had come to rock, and there was no way I was sending them home with anything less than the best of what me and my guys came to do – put it all out there and give them back at least as good as they gave us."


Noooooo...not the boots!

Thirty seconds?  So many superstar fragile flowers nowadays won't go on stage if they get a hangnail, let alone getting their foot stuck in a piece of machinery for thirty seconds.  Seriously...have you ever had anything painful happen to you for thirty seconds?  It seems like an eternity.  If he had on tight boots, that might have helped him limp through the show, but still...that had to hurt major bad.

But, I guess if you can stand being married to Squinty McSquint, crushing your foot is comparable to a kiss from a baby.
