Yungblud has broken his leg in a motorcycle accident, but has vowed the injury will not keep him offstage.

The British rock star revealed the injury on in an Instagram post featuring photos of himself with his bandaged leg, set to the sounds of I'm Still Standing by Elton John.

"Leg f**ked. Still giggin. Still standin (sort of)," he penned in the caption. "Portugal and Belgium I'm comin', and it's gonna be f**king mad. See you next week, Let's ride."

A representative for the singer confirmed to Billboard that the musician had broken his leg in a minor motorcycle accident last week at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. The annual rally, which brings together motorbike enthusiasts from around the world, took place between 7 and 16 August.

Yungblud was seen riding around on a dirt bike in Sturgis before his gig at the rally on 9 August. That night he played his show with a visible limp, mentioning during the gig that he had hurt his leg and was performing despite doctors' orders not to take the stage, and swigging from a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey.

Yungblud has festival appearances booked at the Vilar de Mouros Festival in northwestern Portugal and the Pukkelpop Festival in Hasselt, Belgium in the coming week. He is currently touring in support of his 2025 album Idols, as well as his collaborative EP with Aerosmith, One More Time.

The singer, whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison and hails from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, is known for his high-energy live shows.
