Health
In 2011, Lehner contracted typhoid fever during Belphegor's South American tour, which he believed he acquired after accidentally drinking contaminated water from the sink. He survived the infection and recovered after six weeks of rehabilitation. He stated that the event inspired him to write the album Conjuring the Dead.[2]
