Berner is currently using a wheelchair because of a recent leg injury, not because of a long‑term paralysis or a visible new decline related to his past cancer diagnosis.

Quick Scoop: Why Is Berner In A Wheelchair?

  • Recent clips and fan pages in January 2026 show Berner performing and moving around in a wheelchair after breaking his leg or otherwise injuring it.
  • Posts emphasize that he chose to keep his tour and shows going, performing seated or in a wheelchair instead of canceling dates.
  • There is no reliable public info saying he’s permanently disabled; the context is that his leg “is not at 100%,” suggesting a temporary injury and recovery period.

Health background (for context)

  • Berner publicly revealed a cancer diagnosis in 2021, spoke about treatment, and later did interviews talking about lifestyle and health changes.
  • Current chatter about “why is Berner in a wheelchair” on social and forum‑style clips is tied to the leg injury during his recent touring, not to a newly announced cancer crisis.

What people are saying in forums and clips

“Much respect to Berner… despite recently breaking his leg… he is going forward with his tour and continuing to perform from a wheelchair instead of canceling.”

So, the short version: he’s in a wheelchair right now because of a leg injury while staying active with shows, and it’s being talked about online as a temporary situation rather than a permanent condition.
