Post Malone falls off stage while trying to toast fan
Pour me a.... Post Malone's toast was interrupted after he took a tumble mid-performance.
Rapper and singer Post Malone had an awkward spill while trying to toast a fan during a show in Arizona.
The 29-year-old performed his hit song, ‘Pour Me A Drink,’ onstage while holding a red cup.
He spotted a fan raising a drink for a toast. However, he lost his balance and fell when he leaned down to touch his cup with hers.
They didn't even have time to say cheers! Malone and his drink went spilling off the stage.
“I didn't mean to almost break your back,” the woman captioned a video from the show on TikTok.
Malone brushed off the fall in true Beyoncé style and continued performing like nothing happened.
The woman's video has been watched nearly six million times.
She shared a second video after social media users accused Post Malone of lip-syncing. His song continued to play in the background as he fell.
The clip also showed the girl apologising for encouraging the toast that led to his tumble. "I'm sorry," she said.
Post Malone seemed unfazed by the incident and even passed his drink to someone in the crowd.
"Imagine being the one to injure Post Malone," one TikToker remarked.
Some claimed “poor stage design” was to blame as a piece of the stage fell off first, causing him to lose his balance.
"I'd be pretty mad honestly if I was him. Cuz [sic] that's really poor stage design. It ruined that moment with you, made him look bad, affected the show, he could have got hurt costing millions, because somebody just was too lazy (to) secure it down."
@koty_sage Replying to @Aus Squirrel This lip-syncing claim is getting old in the comment section. Here is more footage for all of you to see and HEAR the background singers behind on stage and to hear that he is actually singing the song. Stop being so mean and hateful towards Posty. One of the best concerts I’ve been to! I loved every second of his show. He’s so genuine and loving towards his fans. When he fell, he caught himself and kept singing. It’s a fun, silly video of Posty being clumsy. Idk how so many people can come on and be negative towards him. It’s not that serious. #postmalone #bigassstadiumtour #postyfans ♬ original sound - ✨Kota
It's not the first time Malone has fallen during a performance.
In 2022, he sustained minor injuries after falling through a trapdoor onstage at a concert in St. Louis.
After the show, he was taken to the hospital. His manager, Dre London, updated fans on his condition.
"We did X-rays @ hospital after the show & they declared he had bruised his ribs! In true Posty fashion, loving his fans, he finished the show! I truly don’t know any artist like him," London wrote on Instagram in September 2022.
"Talking to him few hrs ago he was still saying Dre don’t go hard on em’ [sic] explaining more than saying, “the show must go on! Let’s all keep him in our thoughts as we know he will wake up in pain."
Thankfully, Malone, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, did not appear to suffer any injuries.
