Several clips of his performance have gone viral and raised concerns, but not to worry, he's come out to set the record straight to ease the fears of his fans.
Keep reading for the details.
The Psycho singer is currently on tour with Red Hot Chili Peppers, which will see them perform in major Australian and New Zealand stadiums from January to February 2023. It'll include performances in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Auckland, and Dunedin.
Lots of fans have now expressed concerns over his sudden weight loss, as he appeared looking slimmer while he performed with passion in a t-shirt and shorts on Tuesday.
Viewers and attendees of the show have raised questions of whether he's currently battling a serious illness or addiction due to this weight loss and dramatic movements on stage as he performed "I Fall Apart" in Sydney.
One fan commented:
"Just saw a video of Post Malone in a show. He looks bad. Jerking and looks like he lost weight. I hope he’s ok. That’s my dude."
Another added:
“I’m a bit worried that you lost so much weight.. I’m not used to it. Stay healthy please.”
Some fans, however, shared different opinions, as they insisted the White Iverson star is a passionate performer who's only reacting to his lyrics.
A fan of this new-found passion had the following things to say:
“Apparently Post Malone can’t sing his own song with sentiment without people thinking he’s on drugs. Literally this song is sooo sentimental I don’t know how anyone could sing this song with no expression."
Another supporter quizzed the concerned fans:
“post malone isn’t doing hard core drugs anymore, that’s why his music has changed so drastically and he looks so much healthier. he’s singing with passion now if he was stiff then it’s like ???? but how else is he supposed to sing i fall apart?”
Malone, however, eased fans' concerns, as he insists he is happy and healthy and nothing is wrong with him. A source close to the rapper told TMZ, "There's no need for fans to be alarmed, because he's not on drugs or sick, in fact, it's quite the opposite."
TMZ continued that Malone only gained some weight for a movie role and has been on a strict weight loss diet since then, combined with a strict workout routine. The singer has been touring since September, and he does a 90-minute set on stage, which is why he has lost so much weight.
The Congratulations singer's dad weighed in on Malone's new appearance and replied to a fan's post that the artist is the "healthiest he's been in years! Mentally and physically."
While he was on The Howard Stern Show last summer, the 27-year-old revealed how his fiancee, whose name and identity have been kept under wraps, helped him get over his alcoholism.
“I just have super beautiful people around me, and I met a really beautiful person that made me feel like a human being again. It’s the guidance out of the dark into the light … She saved my f–king life — it’s pretty epic.”
Malone whose real name is Austin Richard Post and his fiancee welcomed a baby girl last year.
