Post Malone cancels Boston concert after returning to hospital


The American singer-songwriter is back in hospital a week after his fall on stage in St. Louis, according to a statement posted to his Instagram Story on Saturday night. He was forced to cancel a scheduled show in Boston after experiencing breathing problems and shooting pains, he wrote.

“Today I woke up with creaks on the right side of my body,” he wrote in the statement. “I felt so good last night, but today was so different than before.”

“I’m having a really hard time breathing, and there’s like a shooting pain every time I breathe or move,” he continued.

Post Malone said he was back in the hospital and couldn’t perform in Boston due to his ongoing pain.

Last Saturday, the musician fell through an opening on stage while performing at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. He was visibly in pain but finished the gig after a brief break; later, he was diagnosed with bruised ribs in the hospital.

Dre London, Post Malone’s manager, praised the musician for finishing the show “the Posty way”.
The fall came in the middle of Post Malone’s “Twelve Carat” tour, in support of his “Twelve Carat Toothache” album. The national tour began in Omaha, Nebraska and will end in November in Los Angeles, according to its website.

On Instagram, Post Malone apologized for canceling the Boston show, which was scheduled to take place at TD Garden Arena, and pledged to reschedule the performance.

“I love you all so much,” he wrote. “I feel terrible, but I promise you I’ll make it up to you.”

“I love you Boston, I’ll see you soon. I’m so sorry.”
