Post Malone is on tour to back his newest album, Twelve Carat Toothache.

During his Saturday (September 17) show in St. Louis, the singer tripped over an opening on stage and suffered an injury, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and TMZ report.

Singing his song “Circles,” the vocalist stumbled and partially fell into an on-stage opening that had been utilized to move his guitar but hadn’t been completely closed.

Medics hurried to the stage and took the R&B musician into their care. Following a break of 15 minutes, he came back to the stage and gave his apologies to the fans for the incident.

“St. Louis, I’m so fucking sorry I ruined the show tonight, ladies and gentlemen,” he stated.

“I promise next time I come around; I won’t fucking wreck y’alls night; I’m sorry for that. That being said, I want to thank you for your patience, and I’m sorry. There was a big-ass hole in the middle of the stage that I just busted my ass on.”

Post Malone Apologizes

Following the incident, Post continued to sing his songs “Rockstar” and “Cooped Up.” In addition, he performed in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday. And he’s still set to perform additional dates on his Twelve Carat Tour slated for later this year.

Post Malone then updated his fans on his condition on Sunday through his social media. In a short clip, he expressed gratitude to his fans for their patience and said he’s feeling better following the fall.

“We just got back from the hospital; everything’s good – they gave me some pain meds and everything so we can keep kicking ass on the tour,” Post said.

“I just want to apologize to everyone in St. Louis, and I want to say thank you guys so much for coming to the show. And next time I’m around this way, we’re gonna do a two-hour show for you to make up for the couple missed songs that we missed.”

Post Malone is taken to the hospital one week following his rib injury on stage.

The rapper, born Austin Post, postponed a show in Boston on Saturday evening after he awoke to “cracking sounds on the right side of my body” and suffered from a stabbing pain.

“I felt so good last night, but today it felt so different than it has before,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’m having a very difficult time breathing, and there’s like stabbing pain whenever I breathe or move.”

According to the singer, he was in the hospital and apologized to fans for putting out the show at TD Garden, stressing that tickets will be valid for a rescheduled date when it is available.

“I’m so f—ing sorry. I love y’all so much. I feel terrible, but I promise I’m going to make this up to you,” he said.

Malone was given medical treatment on September 17 at a hospital following his tripping on an opening, which was used to lower his guitar, on stage at his show at Enterprise Center in St. Louis.

“Thank you for putting up with my dumbass,” he stated in a clip posted on Twitter during that time. “There’s this big ass hole so I go around here and turn the corner and bust my ass… winded me pretty good.”

Announcing that he just got back from the hospital, Malone guaranteed fans that “everything’s good” and “we can keep kicking ass on the tour.”

Malone is obviously regretful about the incident for concert-goers: “Thanks so much for coming to the show,” he stated. “Next time I’m around, we’re going to do a two-hour show for you so we can make up for the couple missed songs.”

Malone Incident

While singing “Circles,” the musician tripped on a hole and fell hard on his ribs. For minutes, he laid on stage as medics hurried to help him. He was then brought off stage and, after a few minutes, went back and resumed his performance with “Rockstar” and “Cooped Up.”

During his performance, he held his ribs and winced a few times, per attendees on social media.

Dre London, Malone’s manager, attested that his ribs were bruised. Luckily, it was not broken.

“Thank you everyone for all your well wishes!” London said on Instagram, captioning a photo of the two backstage.

“In true Posty fashion loving his fans he finished the show! I truly don’t know any artist like him. Talking to him few hrs ago he was still saying Dre don’t go hard on em’ explain more then saying[,] ‘the show must go on!’ let’s all keep him in our thoughts as we know he will wake up in pain.”
