A few weeks back, Post Malone was forced to postpone a show after going to hospital for injuries sustained during a gig. The musician has now incurred another onstage injury. As Rolling Stone reports, Malone was performing in the US city of Atlanta on Wednesday night (19th October) when he stumbled and was in noticeable pain.
Footage of the incident shows the singer stepping up to a higher point of the stage when he rolls his ankle in a hole. He can then be seen limping, before kneeling as the song reaches its end.

“There’s little holes in the middle of the stage where fire comes out of them, which is pretty fucking badarse,” Post Malone told the crowd after the incident. “I just twisted up my ankle a little bit over on that hole there. So if my dance moves aren’t 100 per cent, you’ve gotta forgive me tonight ladies and gentlemen. I’m going to do my best.”
In late September, Post Malone postponed a show in Boston at the last minute after being hospitalised for breathing difficulties and an ongoing “stabbing pain”. Though no further details were provided, the hospitalisation came just a week after the musician made headlines for injuring himself by falling through a hole in the stage floor.
Reports of the incident – which occurred during Malone’s performance in St. Louis, Missouri on 17th September – noted that he required medical attention after injuring both his rib cage and back during a rendition of ‘Circles’. “There was a big-ass hole in the middle of the stage that I busted my ass on,” Malone later explained to fans.
Post Malone resumed his US tour soon after and current tour dates are unlikely to be affected by this new injury. Malone was recently announced as a special guest for Red Hot Chili Peppers’ upcoming Australian tour.
