Yungblud, who broke his leg in a dirt-bike accident just hours before an August 2026 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally show, has continued his European tour despite the injury, culminating in a striking moment where he crowd-surfed while seated in his wheelchair during a performance in Portugal. The stunt, which he later joked about online, underscores the singer's determination to keep touring commitments despite being unable to move around the stage as he normally would.

The incident occurred on Tuesday night at the Vilar de Mouros festival, where Yungblud was wheeled on stage by nurse-costumed attendants with his leg still in a cast before being lifted into the crowd. He had broken the leg on 9 August ahead of his Sturgis gig, telling fans afterwards he wouldn't be able to "hop around" as usual but would carry on regardless. He has one further date, at Belgium's Pukkelpop festival on Friday, before resting to recover properly from the injury.
