Post Malone learned the risks of physical tricks while streaming last week on Twitch. The Grammy-nominated artist was live to showcase the Post Malone’s Murder Circus Encore in-game event from Hunt: Showdown 1896 when he attempted a backflip off a swivel chair, leading to a dramatic fall.
During the stream, Malone, 30, was engaging with fans while enjoying a Bud Light and holding a lit cigarette. “Alright, here it comes y’all. This is just an attempt,” he commented before stepping on the edge of the chair and flipping to the side, ultimately landing in a twisted position on his back. “It was alright. I actually hurt my wrist. My f—ing chair rotated,” he confessed while shaking off his arm.
Post Malone’s Murder Circus Encore, launched in December, is available for play until Monday, February 9.
Reflecting on his experience with the game, Malone said, “My buddy got me into it. Whenever I’m on the road, and I can’t play, I’m always missing it. I’ve got probably about 400 hours on it.” He expressed enthusiasm for the game’s realistic elements, rapid-fire action, and engaging weaponry.

In July 2025, Malone suffered a fall on stage during a performance while attempting to toast drinks with a fan in Glendale, Arizona. The fan later expressed regret on social media, stating, “I am SO sorry Austin. I love you! Such an amazing show.” They later added, “I didn’t mean to almost break your back.”
This year, Malone is scheduled to perform at various North American festivals, including Stagecoach and SummerFest. His most recent album, F-1 Trillion, was released in 2024.
