Post Malone is "healthiest he’s been in years, "says father Rich Post, amid fans fears that the artist is ill

While a source close to Post Malone claims that the singer is "happy and healthy," his father has stated that his son is the "healthiest he has been in years" amid mounting worries from fans who noted his massive weight loss during a recent concert. The 27-year-old Congratulations singer caused concern among his fans when he appeared to "jerk" while singing I Fall Apart at a concert in Sydney, Australia, and some fans commented on his weight loss. Additionally, a video that was posted online raised a number of concerns about the chart-topping performer and several comments about his appearance, including one from his father. "Just saw a video of Post Malone in a show. He looks bad," one follower tweeted. "Jerking and looks like he lost weight." And another worried Post Malone fan said, "I hope he’s ok. That’s my dude."

On another note, the news comes after he added a fresh face tattoo to his collection of inkings. He is well renowned for his tattoos, and early this year, as an homage to his newborn daughter, he added another work of art to his collection. Additionally, Post Malone applied a set of initials to his forehead in a Gothic typeface prior to his tattoo artist posting the image on Instagram. According to TMZ, the initials DDP stand for the star's daughter, who was born earlier this year. However, he hasn't yet revealed the name of the infant.
