A recent video circulating on social media has ignited widespread concern among fans of musician Post Malone, whose on-stage behavior has drawn comparisons to the final performances of Amy Winehouse.
The footage shows the artist, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, appearing to struggle during a performance. He is seen sitting down to light a cigarette, then standing to walk to the edge of the stage, staring into the audience for a moment before spitting upwards. This display has prompted many fans to express worries about his health and well-being.
He needs help
Online comments reflect a shared anxiety, with one user stating, "He needs help," while another observed that Malone looked "unwell." Although Malone is known for his unconventional stage presence, many felt his actions in this video crossed a line, raising questions about his current state.
These concerns arise shortly after Malone postponed the first three weeks of his "BIG ASS Stadium Tour," originally set to begin on May 13. He cited the need for more time to complete his new double album, "The Eternal Buzz," as the reason for the delay, pushing the tour's start date to June 9. Malone achieved widespread fame in 2015 with his hit song "White Iverson" and has since blended influences from hip-hop, pop, and country music, collaborating with major artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncรฉ.
I canโt imagine what itโs like to be at their level. It must be miserable. Thereโs so much pressure.
