Musician Yungblud revealed on Instagram Sunday that he fractured his leg in a motorbike accident. The 29-year-old artist, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, shared images of himself in a large cast and using crutches.
The accident reportedly occurred earlier this month at the Sturgis Bike Rally in Michigan. According to reports, Yungblud performed a 10-song set in pain before heading to a hospital.
Despite the injury, Yungblud stated his intention to continue with his scheduled performances, including a show in Portugal on Monday and headlining Belgium’s Pukkelpop festival on Friday. He posted, "Leg fed, still giggin Still standin’ (sort of). Portugal and Belgium – I’m comin’ and it’s gonna be fing mad."
This incident follows Yungblud's withdrawal from the Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary, Canada, just days after he experienced an emotional breakdown on stage. At the time, he cited a need to prioritize his well-being and take time off in the UK to address personal struggles.
During a recent performance in the Czech Republic, Yungblud became visibly distressed on stage, pausing his show to speak with fans about feeling disconnected and in pain. He expressed gratitude to his audience, stating that seeing their faces made him feel "safe" from the outside world. He also pledged to support his fans through their own difficult times.
In a subsequent Instagram post, Yungblud shared a clip of his on-stage breakdown, explaining his decision to be transparent about his struggles. He described the moment as a release of unprocessed emotions from the past year and reflected on the challenges of being an artist in a fast-paced industry that offers little time for processing feelings. He also addressed the hate and disbelief he has encountered online, emphasizing his commitment to spreading love and unity.
