Lehner is an avid user of Jackson Guitars. He has been seen using the RR24 and the DKMG.
In 2011, Lehner contracted typhoid fever during their South American tour, which he believed he acquired the disease after accidentally drinking from an infected faucet. He eventually survived the infection and was able to recover after 6 weeks of rehabilitation. He stated that the event had inspired him in writing the album Conjuring the Dead.[2]
In April 2016, Lehner was spat on by an orthodox activist at an airport in Saint Peterburg, Russia.[3]
