\n\tThe singer revealed the injury on Sunday (Aug. 13) in an Instagram post featuring photos of himself with his injured leg, humorously including \u201cI\u2019m Still Standing\u201d by Elton John as featured audio on the post. He kept the announcement characteristically brief: \u201cLeg f\u2013ked. Still giggin. Still standin (sort of).\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe then made it clear that his upcoming shows are still on the agenda. \u201cPortugal and Belgium I\u2019m comin and it\u2019s gonna be f\u2013king mad. See you next week, Let\u2019s ride,\u201d he wrote to conclude the post.<\/p>\n

\n\tA representative for Yungblud confirmed to Billboard<\/em> that the 29-year-old musician broke his leg in a minor motorcycle accident last week at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. The annual rally, which hauls in motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world, took place Aug. 7-16.<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite the injury, Yungblud seems determined to stick to his touring plans. His references to Portugal and Belgium point to his festival appearances at Vilar de Mouros Festival and Pukkelpop Festival, respectively, where he\u2019s scheduled to perform in the coming week. Judging by his message, he doesn\u2019t seem particularly interested in letting a broken leg change the energy.<\/p>\n

\n\tYungblud is touring his 2025 album Idols<\/em> as well as his collaborative EP with Aerosmith, One More Time<\/em>, which hit No. 9 on the Billboard 200 in December. <\/p>\n

\n\tHis latest update suggests fans shouldn\u2019t expect a broken leg to turn down the volume on his famously high-energy performances. Whether \u201cstanding\u201d is technically required for a Yungblud show remains to be seen. But the singer has made his position clear: Portugal and Belgium, he\u2019s coming \u2014 broken leg and all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
