Post Malone postponed a performance in Boston Saturday after announcing on social media that he's been hospitalized with a "stabbing pain."
The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Austin Post, posted the update on his Instagram stories, sharing with fans that he woke up late in the afternoon with cracking sounds on the right side of his 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 wrote. "We're in the hospital now, but with this pain, I can't do the show tonight. I'm so fucking sorry."
The musician went on to tell ticket holders he felt "terrible" and would "make this up to you" with a rescheduled show at a later date. He's currently on his Twelve Carat Tour across North America, which is set to conclude on November 16 in Los Angeles. Malone will also play five international tour dates in New Zealand and Australia in early 2023.

People reports the rapper took a hard fall while performing in St. Louis on September 17. The following day, he posted a video on Twitter explaining what happened and gave fans an update on his condition.
"Whenever we do the acoustic part of the show, the guitar's on the guitar stand and it goes down [into the stage]. There's this big ass hole, so I go around there and I turn the corner and bust my ass," he said in the video. "Winded me pretty good, got me pretty good."

He went on to share that he went to the hospital after the show, where he was given medication for his pain. Malone added that he planned to do a two-hour set in St. Louis the next time he was in town to make up for songs he missed.
On Wednesday, Malone also posted a photo of himself on his Instagram giving the middle finger to the hole on the stage, captioning the image, "F U Hole."
It's unclear if Malone's hospitalization is related to the fall. Representatives for Malone did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
