Pop singer Katy Perry had to get 17 stitches in her leg following an injury she sustained at a night club on Sunday (June 20) after the MuchMusic Video Awards.

Perry joked about the injury on her Twitter page, exclaiming, "17 stitches later... Don't make fun of my dance moves tomorrow. That's what got me here in the 1st place!"

She also tweeted, "Thanks for the souvenir Canada! Thinking about getting a candy cane walker made for this performance coming up... I will be expecting YOU to dance for me, okay?!"
