Post Malone Seemingly Struggles To Handle His Alcohol Amid Breakup From Influencer GF: 'He's Not Sober Anymore?'
Just days after ending things with the aspiring influencer, the singer suffered a nasty fall during a performance while seen holding alcohol.
Now, fans are questioning if Malone, who is in the middle of a nasty custody battle for his daughter, is taking his sobriety seriously.
The drama went down at the State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, where the "Sunflower" hitmaker took the stage to perform his and Blake Shelton's duet "Pour Me A Drink."
Embodying the lyrics, Malone held a red plastic cup in his hand, which was presumably filled with beer. As seen in a viral TikTok clip, the singer belted out the lyrics while walking towards an excited fan near the front of the stage.
Upon getting close, he crouched to toast the fan, who also had a cup of beer, when things took a dramatic turn. A supporting structure mounted on the stage gave way under Malone's weight, causing him to tumble.
He dived knee-first, spilling his drink in the process, and the crowd audibly gasped. Although the video didn't show the singer's state after his fall, the fan apologized for the accident in the post's caption.
"I am SO sorry, Austin," she wrote, referencing the artist's real name. "I love you! Such an amazing show [red heart emoji] @Post Malone," it read.
The viral clip sparks questions about Malone's sobriety. The "Circles" songster, who has admitted to struggling with alcohol addiction, alluded to being sober after welcoming his daughter in 2022.
As The Blast previously reported, in an interview with Zane Lowe, the 29-year-old spoke about how fatherhood inspired him to ditch his partying lifestyle. Alongside leaving that life behind, the hitmaker also confronted his weakness for alcohol.
Admitting that he used to have a "very hard time" expressing himself if he wasn't "a little f-cked up," Malone told the host his relationship with drinking had changed. In his words:
"It's a good spot now because if I'm not recording or I'm not talking to people or if I'm not doing shows, I really do drink just to have fun. It's like having a beer with my dad or my bud."
As expected, Malone's tumble has earned reactions from fans, who expressed concern over his well-being. Many wondered about his sobriety pledge, suggesting the cup of beer was responsible.
"Is he always drunk or something? Because this isn't the first video of him falling on tour? Also, this stage was built cheaply," one fan penned on social media.
Another comment read, "How many times is he going to fall on this tour? Saw a video of him slipping and falling on stage. Mess!"
A third fan accused, "I could've sworn he said after having his daughter, he was [going to] be sober," while another wondered, "He's not sober anymore?"
Malone's embarrassing performance comes just days after his breakup with girlfriend Christy Lee was confirmed.
Per TMZ, the award-winning artist has been single for a while, as they called it quits almost a month ago. It is, however, unclear what caused the split or if the exes remain amicable.
Malone and Lee began dating earlier this year, debuting their romance in March in a viral TikTok where they were spotted engaging in a steamy PDA session. They were first spotted in January enjoying a stroll in Rome before heading out to dinner at the Mascagni Hotel.
Malone and Lee's romance took off after the "Rockstar" hitmaker ended his engagement with his former ex, Hee Sung "Jamie" Park, with whom he shares his daughter.
Amid his sudden breakup, Malone is knee-deep in a custody battle with his ex, Park. As The Blast reported, the rapper's baby mother filed to change the existing custody agreement, giving him only visitation rights.
She requested full physical custody of the two-year-old but is willing to share legal custody with the award-winning artist.
Following her filing, Park took things a step further when she served Malone his papers just two days before his Coachella set.
She reportedly employed a process server who tracked him down at a luxury apartment building in Downtown Los Angeles. Malone was allegedly served inside a parking garage around 1 p.m.

Sydney Sweeney Claps Back At Bathwater Controversy With Jacob Elordi ‘Saltburn' Reference
Sydney Sweeney is calling out critics of her bathwater soap collab. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, which was published on Aug. 20, the 'Anyone But You' star explained why she felt like there was hypocrisy in the backlash she received for announcing her collab with men's personal care brand Dr. Squatch in May to sell bars of soap infused with her 'actual bathwater.' 'It was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting,' she told WSJ. 'They all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi's bathwater,' she noted, referencing to the 2023 film 'Saltburn.' Solve the daily Crossword

Austin Butler feared he was 'dying'
Austin Butler feared he was "dying" when he went temporarily blind. The 34-year-old actor was on his way to film 2023's The Bikeriders when he was jolted awake with a terrible migraine as his flight landed and realised he had lost his vision. He told the new issue of Men's Health magazine: 'It felt like the life was being sucked from my body. 'I suddenly felt a euphoric sensation, and I actually genuinely thought I was dying." The Elvis star's sight slowly returned to normal and he went on to spend the entire day working on set, writing off the incident as a side effect of sleep deprivation. Austin was convinced to put in the best performance, he had to be "tortured", and suffered several health issues as a result, including a pain in his foot for months after promoting Dune: Part Two and appendicitis-like pain that hospitalised him for a week after filming Elvis. He said: 'For a long time, I felt that it [acting] had to be a tortured process and I would come out the other side broken." But mentors such as Laura Dern have helped him find balance between work and his health. He said of the 58-year-old actress: 'She's helping me more and more to see that you can come out the other side, and maybe bits of you have healed, and synthesized, and metabolised. "It can be therapeutic, in a way. 'You don't have to destroy the light.' And the Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood actor has found ways to stop trying to erase himself in his performances. He said: 'Rather than just putting parts of yourself away and trying to pretend that they don't exist, it's like going into the gross bits of yourself - going into the bits that you don't want to look at - and finding a way of integrating that into the whole.' Austin famously poured so much into his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Elvis Presley, he needed to work with a dialect coach to get rid of The King's distinctive drawl afterwards, and he recalled feeling lost once filming ended. He said: 'And then it's done, after three years. And then it's like, Wait, what do I focus on now? What do I read about? What do I watch? What do I like? And also, I haven't talked to my friends. Who do I call?'

'His warmth, humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him.'

In a 2019 interview for Rhode Island Monthly, Caprio said his wife Joyce suggested the local-access TV time should be used to show him at work behind the bench. ' 'I didn't like the idea actually, but of course, when my wife makes a suggestion, I usually don't win that battle,' he said. 'I agreed we would try it and see if it was something that worked. And there was an overwhelmingly positive response.' Watch a clip from Caught in Providence here: 'All the segments of court in Providence are actual court proceedings, so it's not a program and it's not a court show, it's actual real proceedings that are being televised,' Caprio told the magazine. 'We show a slice of life of Rhode Island that is very interesting, and it reflects the same issues people are experiencing nationwide.' He received the Producer's Circle Award at the 2018 Rhode Island International Film Festival.

After he retired, his former courtroom was renamed The Chief Judge Frank Caprio Courtroom. Caprio appeared as a judge in a 2007 episode Showtime's Providence-set crime-and-politics thriller Brotherhood. His memoir, Frank Caprio Compassion in the Court, was published in February. Along with his wife, Caprio is survived by five children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
