Yungblud Crowd-Surfs in a Wheelchair During His Show After Breaking His Leg

Yungblud Crowd-Surfs in a Wheelchair During His Show After Breaking His Leg

Yungblud took to the stage at Portugal’s Vilar de Mouros festival with a unique twist on crowd-surfing. The rockstar, who was sporting a cast on his broken leg following a motorcycle accident at Sturgis on August 9, lifted himself up from his wheelchair and into the arms of eager fans. In a video captured by attendees, Yungblud can be seen roaring to the audience, "I have a broken leg, and I had two choices: I was either gonna cancel on Portugal, or I was gonna do a shot of Jack Daniels and put a fuckin’ pot on and come rock n’ roll with you!"

The unconventional move transformed a typical crowd-surfing experience into something decidedly unorthodox. Despite his injury, Yungblud pressed on, arriving at the festival with his leg still encased in a cast. The Grammy winner expressed his amusement at the situation, posting photos of the stunt on Instagram with the caption, "Good way to break my leg..."

This audacious performance was only one of several events on Yungblud's current European tour, which includes a final date at Pukkelpop in Belgium on August 22.
