features duets with with other Country Superstars including Morgan Wallan Blake Shelton and Dolly Parton everyone here was so yeah accepting and kind that's a testament to you I disagree I think that's a testament to them Post Malone wasn't met with that kind of Acceptance in the beginning in 2015 when his hip hop track White Iverson dropped on the internet and went viral he was called a culture vulture a one hit wonder how did that feel to you it sucked yeah I was a kid 1920 how did you deal with it drink a lot did you
take it personally cuz I absolutely it's hard not to but he kept writing hit songs it's not for the people who hate you it's for the people who love you and for yourself yeah do you know what I mean a decade later he has more than 40 billion streams on Spotify and six number one hits including a pop [Music] song A hip-hop track and most recently a country [Music] tune make this kind of mess [Music] across his knuckles are tattooed an Eclectic collection of Heroes George Harrison John uh Hank senior yeah they're all dead dudes
by the way but all dudes that are important to you yes sir absolutely you're the reason that I'm traveling on but don't think twice that's all all right Austin Richard Post he added Malone as a stage name grew up in Dallas where his dad managed concessions for the Cowboys what made you want to play guitar Guitar Hero it was 100% And I was like all right well let me get a real guitar and see if it translates and it did not did not! but Austin started writing songs and found what Rolling Stone would call a
gift for turning dreamy Darkness into top 40 [Music] [Music] [Applause] gold you're making a baby with like sound waves which is neat I think he has a baby now a 2-year-old daughter he sings about in the new song yours don't know who you are we talked about her as he was cracking open a beer you're already envisioning your daughter getting married I think about it a [Music] lot is that the first song you've written about your daughter no sir I've written a whole lot of songs he keeps her name private but her initials are tattooed
on his forehead right by the brain yes sir I'll never forget her if you've heard her cry you'll never forget her either it changes your life in the best way ever yeah and the most beautiful thing is she has a beautiful mom you've said she saved your life kind of that's true yeah that's true her and her mom in what way four years ago I was on a rough path what were you wrestling with then everything it was terrible you were already really successful yes sir so what was what was troubling you that's a good
question just I loneliness post says he was spiraling downward getting up having a good cry yeah drinking and then going living your life and then whenever you go lay down drinking some more and having a good cry and just like I got to wake up tomorrow and do this again yeah and I don't feel like that anymore yeah and it's the most amazing thing yeah I'm sorry you went through that that's all right I needed to for myself to figure out who I am figure at 29 post Malone who fans affectionately call Posty is now
one of the most popular musicians in the World good to see you great to see you too backstage before a gig in Nashville last month he was nervous I got a big pit in my stomach like ready to go big butterflies but Posty has an intimate relationship with his fans thank you for your love and thank you for your support over all these years ladies and gentlemen you tell your audience frequently that you're loved it's true why do you do that it's important because not everyone knows it you know there's a lot of very I
think lonely people are you trying to give people something that you yourself have at times felt missing I think so I think so yes sir I think that's a good way to put it because I don't want people to feel how I felt yeah and I know they do and I'm here and I'm on stage and I just want everyone to feel welcome and to feel loved and that's the most important thing for me yeah and the love you get back is just as important it's a I I cannot even believe it the the place
that I'm in
