For he can do no wrong, for at least 72 hours.
Share the best of last night in comments if you’re so inclined. I have little time for this today but needed to acknowledge his majesty.
Is this custom Westwood we’re seeing?? And maybe a fresh undercut in the back? God it’s so, so good.
No stranger to injuries on tour, and leveraging them to sympathy even many years later, here’s our fey hero regaling his interviewer on the road to Werchter with tales of past injuries. (Full interview here: https://youtu.be/XD2gQJZRVkc)
Before we all get too carried away, and worry that Daddy Stark may recruit him to lead the next Wounded Warrior Project media campaign, let’s not forget he did this by basically by being an idiot. He’s not taking crossfire in battle. How much side eye is reserved for your friend who sticks to the greens and blues in the US but decides to go big on their trip to Zermatt and comes home in a cast? Exactly.
In part inspired by the Billboard article that dropped with his team confirming a fracture (https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/yungblud-leg-motorcycle-accident-1236318055/), does anyone here have the medical knowledge to explain how he can get cleared to fly from SD to LA to the UK in just a few days, get a medical work up to confirm a fracture, and get it casted? Is that a cast or just compression? I don’t want to turn this into a Clancy trial level sm armchair diagnostic circus but are post-fracture blood clots not a thing anymore? 😵💫😵💫😵💫
As you integrate MAGA into the legacy BHC please keep in mind how detrimental it is to bear witness to oppression and say nothing.
If there is one oppressor at the table and four people with them saying nothing, there are five oppressors at the table.

It’s a dark, dark day in YB land, esp for Americans. The stunting and appropriation of the worst parts of our extremely vulnerable culture to feed the beast is just depressing AF. I’m unwell thinking about some members of his team in the Sturgis environment, having to pretend it’s all OK. They’re all professionals and they’ll get through it but on behalf of civilized Americans, I’m sorry.
Sharing this moment of magic as a counterpoint. This song is the very best of Idols and he was positively GLOWING that night. All this, all the time, forever and always. Please. 🙏
Great interview with Bobby and Elle. These people are so nice and welcoming and the vibes are elite.
Is anyone else so ready for him to go dark for a while? At a ratio of about 5/10/85 lately there seems to be utter magic, neutral whatever, and then the vast majority of the time we’re getting inundated by a wide variety of PR stunts, gaslighting, affiliation with the political right, true garbage people causing fights in the line or at shows, and other assorted nonsense.
The gift for his birthday is that he can disappear for a while, regroup, and get back to the 2024 alignment and creative energy that brought us all here in the first place. A one year term seems like a reasonable duration for a renewed relationship contract🤞so here’s to bottomless mimosas and prawn pil pil from his new happy place in Marbs with the people that provide the best personal assistance. 🖤
What… happened last night? They moved the show up by 2 hours only 3 hours out? No sign of JJ during Dom’s set and vice versa? Vibes were off?? Anyone who was there pls fill us in.
YB is becoming like that rich kid on the B team whose parents buy him all the most expensive gear in an attempt to make him a starter. First they wrap his PJ, now CAA mktg has outfitted the Tall Ship Windy with YB kit to sail around the harbor. He’s got a 6:30 Lolla timeslot similar to CMAT, The Neighborhood, and Lil Uzi Vert. Do any of them have custom vehicles rolling around the city? What even is going on anymore? This is not helping him be taken seriously.
Soooooo, after last night how do we think he’s doing? My overall impression is that he’s absolutely not OK and whoever is making him finish out these 2026 tour dates deserves every ounce of wrath coming to them but that he’s a beast and is going to get the job done.
There were a few references to his MH from the stage - “coming back mid [points at head] breakdown to bring you some British rock and roll” and “feel like I can look at the sunrise because you lot look better” - and his voice sounded a little rough but he brought the energy and said hi to the crowd outside after.
What are your thoughts?
Things apparently got a little too quiet for this silver-spooned preachy wanker and he decided to call Backgrid and stunt in a WF parking lot. Nothing makes it clearer that we have reached end times dystopia than someone claiming to be a journalist referring to this twinkle muppet in slippers as “iconic”. 👌 Jojita could marry Jordan and build an entire family with him and Dom would still be shacking up in a shed in her backyard yapping about partnership and connection. This is just embarrassing.
Does anyone else think he should just cancel the rest of the 2026 dates? I’ve listed what I believe to be the rest of the schedule below. I didn’t love the comment about “all other scheduled shows will go ahead as planned” comment in the press release. This seems pretty serious (“in a place where I’m working on myself”) and I really, truly want him to be given the grace and space he needs. Mental health stabilization is a months-long process with no clear end date. None of these dates seem super critical given the phase of his album cycles and against the health issues - mental and the tonsillectomy - he’s currently facing.

Any chance we can stop talking about women’s bodies for a sec? GREAT. Check out our lord and savior making 8 year old Otis’ full day, week, and year with a backstage tour and jam session. He is the light. 🪄✨🖤
These are the things that are real. These actions have real, beautifully positive impact on people’s lives. I hope he feels these moments as clarity against the maelstrom of bs and having to address “rockstar cliche” (🙄👌) that he sometimes is sucked into.

I’m never going to get over this. Just as we rounded Ghosts to Zombie I thought we were getting standard finale. Then this happened. I gasped then just started bawling. Better than Champagne Supernova on the reunion tour. I LOVE this song and I love Yungblud and every time I think I’m over it something like this happens. We met fantastic people today and even though it was so hot it was worth it. These moments are so special and it’s all because of him. 🖤
