Post Malone falls as stage breaks apart during Arizona concert

NEW YORK — Post Malone toppled off the stage while performing in Arizona this past weekend, when part of the stage broke apart beneath him.

Footage filmed by an audience member shows the 18-time Grammy nominee, real name Austin Richard Post, waltzing up toward the edge of the stage holding up a red Solo cup and leaning down to toast with the fan filming Saturday in Glendale, Arizona.

Their cups are about to make contact when the edge of the stage cracks off and the “Sunflowers” singer, 29, topples out of sight, according to the now-viral video.

“I didn’t mean to almost break your back,” the clip is captioned. That’s a nod to the “Pour Me a Drink” lyric, “Yeah I’ve been breakin’ my back,” which is what the Syracuse native was crooning just before he fell.

The fan who posted the clip added, “I am SO sorry Austin. I love you! Such an amazing show.”

Billboard reports that Post quickly returned to the stage and resumed his performance at State Farm Stadium as if nothing happened, raising his cup once again to applause.

 

At the time of publication, Post does not appear to have spoken about the incident, at least not on his Instagram.

The show is part of Post’s “The Big Ass Stadium Tour,” which is set to head to Europe next month before returning stateside next spring.

Post, who recently headlined Coachella, announced the tour back in November.

But the year hasn’t been all “Sunflowers” and rainbows for Post, whose ex-fiancée Hee Sung “Jamie” Park requested full physical custody of their 3-year-old daughter in April. The following month, Post reportedly filed a motion to dismiss his ex’s petition.
