British singer Yungblud sustained a leg injury, including a broken leg and damaged knee ligaments, during a dirt bike accident at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.

Despite medical advice to avoid performing, the artist continued his scheduled tour. Following an initial performance on August 9 where he displayed a visible limp, he performed at the Vilar de Mouros festival in Portugal while using a wheelchair. During that set, he engaged in crowd-surfing from his seat. He has maintained his commitment to his upcoming European tour dates, including the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium.
