Post Malone’s latest Twitch broadcast ended with a crash when the superstar tried a backflip from his chair, leaving fans wincing and the singer clutching his wrist.
The On-Stream Mishap
Malone, 30, was deep into his custom Murder Circus Encore event on Hunt: Showdown 1896, Bud Light in hand, when he eyed the camera and warned, “Alright, here it comes y’all. This is just an attempt.”
He stepped onto the chair’s edge, the seat spun, and he landed sideways on the floor. Cigarette still burning, he shook his arm and laughed, “It was alright. I actually hurt my wrist. My f-ing chair rotated.”

The singer has logged roughly 400 hours in Crytek’s gritty shooter since a friend introduced him to it.
