POST Malone has denied being on drugs after stumbling around on stage on Thursday night.
The 24-year-old addressed fans at his show in Memphis on Friday, saying: “I'm not on drugs and I feel the best I've ever f*****g felt in my life.”
He added: "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.
“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.”
The star – born Austin Richard Post – sparked concern after he was filmed stumbling and falling over, though there was no evidence that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The fan video is believed to have been taken at a gig in the US on Thursday night.
His bizarre behaviour left fans expressing their fears over the singer's well-being.
One person wrote: “This is really painful to see him like this and I'm genuinely concerned about his well-being right now. Someone get Post Malone some help!!”
Another tweeted: “Who is helping Post Malone right now?! These videos are terrifying and he was out of it on stage when I went.”
While someone else commented: “Someone needs to help Post Malone and cancel his tour asap."
Others have insisted it is all part of his on stage persona, with one person writing: “This is part of his performance and why would his team let him do a concert when he's high or under the influence of drugs? Even I can perform like this, it's not something that serious.”
"How do we know it's not just a performance, especially for the song? Genuine question,” asked another.
The American rapper has always been open about his drink and drug intake.
In an interview with GQ this month he revealed that he no longer smoked marijuana following a “pot-induced anxiety attack that never completely subsided”.
He does however still drink and spent a two week break from tour boozing back in December.
Post told the magazine: “There was not a second of not-inebriation. And I couldn't sleep, so I'd get hammered and stay up till f***in' 3 p.m.”
He is rarely pictured without an alcoholic drink in his hand – both out and about and on the red carpet, and he has worked in partnership with Bud Light for a number of years.
The Sun Online has contacted Post Malone’s rep for comment.
