Rapper Post Malone cancels gig after being admitted to hospital with ‘breathing difficulties’
Rapper Post Malone was admitted to hospital after suffering “breathing difficulties” and has been forced to postpone a gig.
The US singer had to cut short a gig he was playing in St Louis, Missouri, last week after he fell into a “hole” for crew and equipment at the edge of the stage and winded himself.
He was treated in hospital and told fans on social media: “Everything is fine.”
But he returned to hospital on Saturday with what he described as “difficulty breathing and stabbing pain… every time I move or breathe”.
As a result, the scheduled show last night in Boston was postponed.
‘Stabbing pain’
He told fans: “Today I woke up to a cracking sounds on the right side of my body
“I felt so good last night, but today it felt so different than it has before. I’m having a very difficult time breathing, and there’s like a stabbing pain whenever I breathe or move.”
He pledged to reschedule the show.

“I love y’all so much. I feel terrible, but I promise I’m going to make this up to you. I love you Boston, I’ll see you soon,” wrote the singer, 27, whose real name is Austin Richard Post.
The venue, TD Garden, said in a tweet the show was “postponed due to unforeseen circumstances”.
Malone is scheduled to perform in Cleveland on Tuesday.
Last week, after falling on stage, he said to fans: “Thank you for putting up with my dumb ass.”
