Post Malone falls as stage breaks apart during Arizona concert
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.

Pet Parents Play Dog a Recording of Her Cries—Her Response Is Priceless
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog's priceless reaction to watching a recording of her response while being home alone left viewers cracking up. It is hard to know how a dog feels or acts when they're home alone, which is why pet parents often install a camera that allows them to check in through a phone app. And, the curious owners of Duffy the maltipoo, a Maltese and poodle mix, wanted to join the trend of staying in the loop of their pup's response, especially since they recently welcomed her home. Duffy's owner told Newsweek that the pup cries and whines even when they're at home and in another room. They figured she'd be upset when home alone, but after setting up the pet camera, they learned the extent of the small dog's sadness. They jokingly shared a recording from the pet camera of Duffy's dramatic cries with the dog, which they later posted in an Instagram video to the account @ Her cries pierced through the recording. She howled in desperation that her humans would return. The moment Duffy heard the recording, her eyes bulged. She tilted her head in confusion. She couldn't believe the sounds and acted as if she weren't responsible. Screenshots from an Instagram video of a maltipoo watching a recording of herself when she cried while her owners left the house. Screenshots from an Instagram video of a maltipoo watching a recording of herself when she cried while her owners left the house. @ Duffy's owners were just as confused by the amount of noise she made, and the stress of leaving her at home alone caused her. "...I didn't know that she cried that hysterically when we left the house," one of her owners said. While the dog's stress hurt to hear, Duffy's reaction to the recording had her owners laughing, especially as she kept tilting her head side to side. And thankfully, Dufffy grew out of this separation anxiety phase. She understands that her owners always return, greeting them with nothing but happiness. She'll even remain calm when they leave. Viewer Reactions The Instagram video reached over 464,000 views as of Friday, as people flooded the comment section with mixed emotions. They felt horrible for Duffy experiencing the stress of being home, but her reaction became priceless. "The 'not me' look," pointed out one viewer. "She is like, 'That's not me, I don't know that another Instagram user commented. A third person jokingly wrote from Duffy's point of view: "Doesn't sound like something I would do, you must have me confused."

"Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all," SJP noted in a lengthy and emotional Instagram post after 'And Just Like That's cancellation was announced. Sarah Jessica Parker is writing off her iconic character, Carrie Bradshaw, after And Just Like That was surprisingly canceled after the currently-airing Season 3. In an Instagram post Friday, shortly after the announcement, SJP shared a montage including all of her past fashionable looks on Sex and the City and it's modern sequel, And Just Like That. She also narrated her heartfelt caption in one final signature voiceover. 'She crossed streets, avenues, rubicons, so it seemed. She broke hearts, heels, habits. She loved, lost, won, tripped, leaped, fell short and into puddles. Aged, got wiser. She has made the hardest, worst and best decisions,' Parker wrote and said in the post. 'Traveled near and far. For the new, the vintage, friends and love.' Parker continued to recap the growth and changes her character handled throughout both series. "Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City," she said. "She had dates, drinks, boyfriends, a husband and truly great loves and romances. She hailed cabs, she ran in heels and danced with Stanford. She told the truth and she lied. She typed, wondered, wrote, published, grieved, forgave. Got stood up, stood strong, stood out." "She devoted herself to hats, books, shoes, friends and the promise of a new day in her beloved city and the people she treasured most. She has worn shame, pride, honor, optimism and literally countless dresses, skirts, tutus. Held onto hands, hopes and the very best of people." Parker then mentioned how much she loved her character for the past 27 years. "Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends and what great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema and LTW, most divine new connections. Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all," she mentioned. "I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all." But the actress shared that she helped decide on the show coming to an end with showrunner Michael Patrick King because -- they felt it was time to finish this chapter in Carrie's life. "MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 people, including all the brilliant actors who joined us," she continued. "I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all. I love you so. I hope you love these final two episodes as much as we loved making them for you. Rabbit rabbit. Xxx, SJ." Solve the daily Crossword
