How Did Post Malone Fall On Stage And Was He Ok?

This past weekend in St. Louis, Post Malone was on stage at the Enterprise Center on a tour stop as part of his Twelve Carat Toothache Tour. But the performance didn’t quite go as planned, with Malone taking a vicious spill on stage while performing “Circles” midway through his set. In fan videos captured from the show that circulated on social media, Posty appeared to fall into a large hole in the middle of the stage and was immediately clutching his ribs, writhing in pain. He left the stage and came back 15 minutes later to finish the set, which was cut short as he was in so much pain and couldn’t on any longer. But how did he fall on stage in the first place? What was a giant hole doing in the middle of the stage where he’s always on the move while performing? And what about his injuries?

How Did Post Malone Fall On Stage And Was He Ok?

It seems as though the hole in the stage floor, is where Post Malone’s guitar stands rest during his acoustic songs like “Stay,” “Go Flex,” and “Circles.” And once they’re removed, the hole was just exposed. Caught up in the moment of the song, Posty fell through it. In an Instagram video posted by his manager Dre London, the rapper addressed the camera and explained exactly what happened. “Whenever we do the acoustic part of the show, the guitars are on the guitar stand… and there’s this big ass hole,” he began, before recounting what happened, “So I go around there and I turn the corner and bust[ed] my ass. [It] winded me pretty good. Got me pretty good. We just got back from the hospital and everything’s good. Everything’s good. They gave me some pain meds and everything so we can keep kicking ass on the tour.”

Post Malone sustained injuries to his ribs, which when he came back out on stage, he told the crowd that they were cracked. In a subsequent Instagram post, London clarified that Malone actually suffered “bruised” ribs. The rapper was placed on pain medication at the hospital and was able to make it to his tour stop in Columbus the following night. But he sent a message to fans in St. Louis, telling them that he owes them, a longer set next time he stops through the city in order to, “…make up for the couple missed songs that we missed.”

Post Malone Explains How And Why He Fell On Stage And Hurt His Ribs

While performing last night in St. Louis as part of his Twelve Carat Toothache Tour, Post Malone took a wicked fall on stage and was immediately writhing in pain. He left the stage and emerged 15 minutes later explaining that he had cracked three ribs. Videos of the incident have since gone viral and while Post Malone miraculously returned to finish his set, he was clearly in pain as he winced his way through the final songs. So what actually happened and why did he fall? Why was there a large hole in the middle of the stage for him to fall in to begin with?

In an Instagram video posted by Malone’s manager Dre London, Posty is addressing the camera following his hospital visit and seems like he’s understandably on some pain meds. He begins graciously, thanking fans in St. Louis profusely before explaining why the hole was on stage and how he fell: “Whenever we do the acoustic part of the show, the guitars are on the guitar stand… and there’s this big ass hole, so I go around there and I turn the corner and bust my ass,” he said, detailing the fall. “[It] winded me pretty good. Got me pretty good. We just got back from the hospital and everything’s good. Everything’s good. They gave me some pain meds and everything so we can keep kicking ass on the tour.”

He finished the clip my telling fans in St. Louis that, “Next time I’m around this way, we’re gonna do a two hour show for you so we can make up for the couple missed songs that we missed.” He genuinely seemed concerned for the experience of his fans, which was endearing to watch.

In another post, London posted a picture of him and Malone and explained that despite how painful the fall looked, the medical diagnosis was actually of three bruised ribs, not cracked. “Post Malone didn’t break 3 ribs last nite thank god. We did X-rays @ hospital after the show & they declared he had bruised his ribs!,” he commented. Adding that, “In true Posty fashion loving his fans he finished the show! I truly don’t know any artist like him.”

The Twelve Carat Tootheache Tour continues tonight (September 18th) in Columbus and it’s safe to that fans in Ohio are ready to welcome a pain meds-laden Posty with open arms.

Who Is Opening Post Malone’s ‘Twelve Carat Toothache Tour?’

Post Malone is putting on one of the best live performances in the business right now. His festival headlining sets this year have provided the respite that we need for the wild and twisted times that we’re living in. And now beginning on September 10th, he’ll be embarking on the “Twelve Carat Toothache Tour” 2022 in support of his latest album, Twelve Carat Toothache. And where on his 2019 “Runaway Tour” he shined a light on Swae Lee as his opening act, it’s Roddy Ricch that will be opening the concerts on the Twelve Carat Toothache Tour. Here’s what you need to know about Roddy Ricch.

Who Is Opening Post Malone’s ‘Twelve Carat Toothache Tour?’

Roddy Ricch is one of the fastest-rising names in hip-hop. Post Malone fans might recognize the Compton rapper from his appearance on Posty’s track, “Cooped Up.” Roddy Ricch dropped his most recent The Big 3 EP earlier this year, which featured the single “Real Talk.” But speaking of singles, it’s his 2019 track, “The Box,” that put him firmly on the rap map, and has even gained Diamond certification — a feat rarely accomplished and only by acts like Elton John, Mariah Carey, and Cardi B.

The ‘Twelve Carat Toothache” Tour begins in Omaha on September 10th and concludes in Los Angeles on November 15th at Crypto.com Arena. Roddy Ricch will be opening all of the dates and you can get tickets here.
