Fans are incredibly concerned about Post Malone right now after a very weird and worrisome
videos of him falling, crawling and trying to stand upright on stage went viral on both
Twitter and Tik Tok.
What’s up?
It’s Drew Dorsey here with Clevver News and we all love Post Malone for his tattoos,
over the top fashion, and of course, his music.
But his fans are taking to social media to address a recent performance of his that’s
currently circling around the internet and it has many fans concerned.
And before we get into everything, I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be
covering some heavy topics in this story including substance abuse so please only continue watching
if you feel comfortable doing so.
Alright so here’s what’s going on, Post Malone performed at the Bridgestone Arena
in Nashville,Tennessee, on Wednesday night and one part of his set had fans worried.
And we want to make it clear, we aren’t sure what exactly is going on with Post Malone.
We aren’t diagnosing him, we aren’t making any substance abuse claims!
Let that be clear.
This could all be part of his performance, but it has fans concerned and is going viral
on the internet, so we’re going to break down both sides for you.
He was performing his track 'I Fall Apart' and he appeared to actually fall to the ground.
He then stumbled and rolled around and it looked like he was struggling to push himself
up back on his feet.
Posty also appeared to be emotional while singing the song, which is about a relationship
heartbreak.
Here’s a bit of the performance.
Now, it's very possible that this could all be part of his act because his song is literally
about falling apart, so it could totally be intentional… but some fans are concerned
about his well being.
They are sharing their concerns and some videos from other concerts of his on social media.
One person wrote quote, “Seeing all these videos of Post Malone is actually heartbreaking,
someone needs to check on him he’s clearly struggling with something.
Preying that he gets help before it’s too late”
Another said quote, “He is not ok and needs help asap.
Idk if he's on drugs or drunk but we can't lose another artist #PostMalone #help”
Another fan wrote quote, “I’ve been a big fan of post malone since early 2016 and
seeing these videos of him recently are worrying me.
Yes, he’s an outgoing funny character but I’ve never seen him like this in videos.
He looks as if he needs help”
And another wrote quote, “WE LOVE YOU @PostMalone PLZ GET HELP IF U NEED, SO MANY PPL CARE AND
APPRECIATE YOU We can’t lose another legend too soon”
And there are thousands of more tweets and Tik Toks just like those.
Other fans also noted that Post Malone regularly gets low to the ground at his shows and that
he must have just lost his balance.
They also said that after the song he seemed absolutely fine.
One person tweeted saying quote, “he always gets super low to the ground during his performances.
he tripped/lost balance & continued with the song.
i know he drinks a lot & all but he’s completely fine after the show!!”
Another said quote, “We were backstage at his show here and he deffs drinks ALOT but
he’s fine it’s part of the performance”
And another wrote quote, “i’m seeing people quote tweet this with posty screaming in his
songs but it’s literally part of the performance.
i’ve recorded practically the whole concert & he’s fine.
just gets wild with his older music!! lol”
So while Post hasn't commented publicly about what happened while on stage, he is still
set to perform at a scheduled concert tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
And in a recent interview with GQ, Post revealed that he had been working on his mental health,
describing himself as "f*cking crazy.”
He even talked about the drug-related deaths of his peers like Mac Miller, Lil Peep and
Juice WRLD as inspiration and saying he could have seen the same fate.
Post Malone said quote, “Middle school, I would cry myself to sleep every f—kin’
day.
High school, the same thing.
I tried to drink some beers to get rid of that s—t, but it just never goes away.
And I don’t think that’s anybody’s fault; it has to do with something predisposed in
you.”
He then further opened up about his own mental health comparing himself to his peers who
were gone too soon, saying quote, “That could have been me.
I am, now — I'm trying.
It's difficult.
Through my songs, I can talk about whatever I want.
But sitting here, face-to-face, it's difficult.”
Posty went on to explain that’s why he loves music so much because it allows him to work
through his feelings in ways he didn’t know was possible.
He told GQ that quote, “That's the beautiful thing about music — for me at least.
Something strikes a synapse and then you want to go and sit down at the fuckin' computer
and make a beat, and then you make ‘White Iverson,’ or you make fuckin' anything.
And that's all it takes.”
And Post went on to talk about his face tattoos and the real reason behind the,
He suggested that his face tattoos are more of a defense mechanism than anything else.
We just hope and pray Posty is healthy and getting the help he needs if he needs it.
