Post Malone amazed fans with his incredible weight loss as he showed off his new slim figure at the 2024 Stagecoach Festival.

The 28-year-old musician - who recently collaborated with Taylor Swift on her hit track Fortnight and has a tattoo of her boyfriend Travis Kelce on his arm - joined country music stars Brad Paisley and Dwight Yoakam to perform at the Californian festival over the weekend. The Congratulations rapper’s performance saw him show off both his vocal talent and drastic new look.

Keeping it casual, the star - whose real name is Austin Post - opted for slim-fit jeans and a red checkered shirt, finishing off his country look with a red trucker hat. The Grammy-nominated singer looked very slender on stage, showing off his leaner torso and trimmed-down arms and legs - no longer the stocky star who burst onto the music scene in 2016.

Last year, the Better Now singer - who weighed 240 pounds at his heaviest - was forced to address speculation surrounding his dramatic weight loss and dispel rumours that it was down to drugs, instead crediting his transformation to cutting out unhealthy food and fizzy drinks.

Captioning an Instagram photo, he wrote: "I wanted to say that I'm not doing drugs, I've had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and I’d suppose, performance on stage. I’m having a lot of fun performing and have never felt healthier.”

Post - who welcomed his first child in May 2022 - attributed his healthier lifestyle to becoming a father. He added: “I guess dad life kicked in, and I decided to kick soda and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel.”

The new dad went on to add he was hoping to quit smoking too - but is taking it one step at a time. He joked: “next up is smokes and brews, but i like to consider myself a patient man… lol!"

The star opened up about his 60-pound weight loss - and love for fizzy drinks - last summer. Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, he said: “Soda is so bad. It’s so good, but so bad,” before adding that he still has a soft spot for Coca-Cola: “If I had a great show, and you know what, I’m feeling a little bit naughty. I’m gonna have myself a Coke on ice.”
