Football in Paris

The day before the tour started in Paris, Bob scrimmaged with some pro footballers at a local field. One of them stepped on Bob's toe, severely injuring it. Bob endured through the European leg of the Exodus tour, but had to cancel the U.S. leg after finding out the toe had a melanoma and he needed surgery.
