"Healthiest he's been in years! Mentally and physically,” Post Malone's father said.

Post Malone fans expressed their concern for the singer this week. The singer is currently in Australia for several shows but a recent video of her performance alarmed fans. Post Malone lost significant weight. However, his on-stage movements left many believing that he could be struggling with health issues. Some suspected that he was battling an illness while others suggested he was struggling with addiction.

A rep for the singer spoke to TMZ to confirm that he’s neither sick nor addicted to any substances. Apparently, his weight loss came after he gained weight for a movie role. Since he wrapped up filming, Post committed himself to a strict diet and workout regimen. Additionally, the rep said Post has been touring relentlessly since September, doing 90-minute sets each night. Touring also played a big role in weight loss.

In addition to the rep’s statement, Post Malone’s father also chimed in. He confirmed that Post Malone is in the best form he’s been in for a long time. “Healthiest he's been in years! Mentally and physically,” he commented on a post. Needless to say, fans were relieved to find out that Post Malone was actually in better shape than he appeared on stage during his recent concerts. 

Post Malone is currently on tour in support of his latest project, Twelve Carat Toothache. His new project boasted 14 songs in total with appearances from Roddy Ricch, Doja Cat, The Weeknd, Gunna, and The Kid Laroi. He went on the road in America throughout the tail end of 2022 with Roddy Ricch as his opening act. At this point, he doesn’t have many tour dates in the U.S. in 2023 but he will be performing at Bottle Rock Napa Valley 2023 in California on May 26th.

In other Post-related news, new reports emerged revealing that he’ll appear in season 10 of Impractical Jokers. Apparently, Post and Brian Quinn nearly got arrested while filming a prank. Quinn explained that they pretended to be parking attendants at a lot in NYC. At one point, they pulled a prank on someone who actually called the cops. However, the person was, fortunately, a fan of the show and laughed it off.
