Post Malone has addressed fans’ concerns over his health after disturbing videos of him stumbling on stage and struggling to get up has gone viral.
The 24-year-old sparked worry when fan footage from his current American tour began to emerge this week.
The clip shows the rapper performs ‘I Fall Apart’ when he’s seen stumbling, falling, and rolling on the floor, prompting fans to express concern for his welfare.
Another video shows the rapper with his eyes rolling back in his head and crawling across the stage.
There is no evidence the singer was under the influence but fans were genuinely worried following the star’s behaviour.
In another, Post was seen slurring his words while interacting with fans backstage.
But in an effort to dispel the rumours, the rapper addressed fans at his show in Memphis on Friday night, telling fans: “I'm not on drugs and I feel the best I've ever f*****g felt in my life.”
Post Malone – born Austin Richard Post – assured gig-goers he often puts on a dramatic performance and the clips are just an example of his wild on stage persona.
“And that why I've been busting my a** for these shows and can f******g fall on the floor and do all that fun s**t,” he told the crowd.
He thanked his loyal fans for their concern over his welfare, but reassured: “But for anybody that's concerned here, I appreciate the love and the support, but I feel f*****g fantastic and I'm not doing drugs.”
Post Malone is currently in the middle of a huge arena tour of the US – his third headline tour which is named Runaway Tour for his third album, Hollywood’s Bleeding.
The star will head to Europe in summer, playing Glasgow Green on June 30 and Hyde Park on July 2.
Malone’s dad Rich Post also addressed the concern, posting a video of his son’s February 27 show in Washington, D.C on Twitter , in an attempt to dismiss unease.
“I’m getting tired of it y'all,” he wrote,
“What does this video say? Coherently playing the guitar while simultaneously singing?
"Seems a lot harder than accidental slips and stage theatrics.
“I don't want to come across as dismissive to those of you who have expressed concern about Austin.”
He added: “Your sincerity and kindness regarding him is certainly heartwarming and appreciated.”
