Post Malone experienced an unexpected fall during his “Big Ass Stadium Tour” at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The incident occurred as the artist, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, kneeled to clink his red Solo cup with a fan’s cup while performing “Pour Me a Drink,” a collaboration with Blake Shelton.
The moment, captured by TikToker koty_sage, shows Malone leaning over the stage’s edge, which suddenly gave way beneath him. The video was captioned with an apology to Malone, reading, “I am SO sorry Austin. I love you! Such an amazing show,” and humorously noted, “I didn’t mean to almost break your back.”
Recurring Stage Mishaps
This recent fall is not Malone’s first on-stage mishap. In September 2022, during his Twelve Carat tour, he suffered a similar incident at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. On that occasion, Malone fell through what he described as “a big ass hole” on the stage, resulting in bruised ribs and a hospital visit for pain management.
Despite the injury, Malone managed to finish an abbreviated version of the concert. In a video message to fans, he apologized for the shortened performance and promised a longer show in the future to make up for it. “I just want to apologize to everyone in St. Louis, and I want to say thank you guys so much for coming to the show,” he stated.
Impact on Tour Schedule
Following the St. Louis incident, Malone had to cancel a scheduled concert in Boston, highlighting the physical demands and risks of performing live. His current tour, featuring Jelly Roll, is slated to continue through mid-September, with upcoming performances in major European cities such as London, Milan, and Barcelona.
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to Malone’s representatives for an update on his condition following the latest fall, but no official statement has been released yet.
Personal and Professional Challenges
Malone’s recent fall comes on the heels of personal changes, including his split from celebrity stylist Christy Lee, with whom he had been dating since the start of the year, according to TMZ. Despite these challenges, Malone remains committed to his tour and his fans.
His resilience in the face of physical and personal setbacks is a testament to his dedication to his craft. As he continues his tour, fans remain hopeful for his swift recovery and look forward to his upcoming performances.

As Malone prepares for the European leg of his tour, the incidents underline the unpredictable nature of live performances. Artists like Malone often face physical risks on stage, a reality that underscores the importance of safety measures in concert settings.
