Apparently, there was a severe fall off one of the moving parts of the Phantom set or through one of the traps. I think I heard that his knee was broken or damaged to the point that he could barely dance at all. It's very visible in Tanz der Vampire in some shows, when you can see how much pain the poor guy was in.
Oh, been there and done that. I'm into Japanese, Hungarian and German theatre more than anything, because London and Broadway are so dull now, compared to the continent and Japan. The long runs can drain the life out of some shows. That's especially why I love HUngary and Japan - the changeovers between shows are so frequent that it always stays fresh and energetic :)
