Post Malone falls off stage while toasting a fan mid-performance in Arizona
Post Malone suffered a brief onstage mishap during his performance at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. While performing his hit single "Pour Me a Drink", the singer knelt to toast a fan when a section of the stage gave way, causing him to fall out of view. Fan-filmed clips show Malone smiling and holding his drink just before he dropped through the platform. Despite the incident, he quickly got back onstage, continued singing, and raised his cup to finish the toast. The crowd responded with loud cheers, applauding his quick recovery. One fan shared the viral moment on TikTok, joking, 'I didn't mean to almost break your back,' referencing the lyric 'I've been breakin' my back.' The fall brought back memories of a more serious 2022 incident when Malone fell through a trapdoor in St. Louis and suffered rib injuries. Malone, whose real name is Austin Post, is currently on the North American leg of his The Big Ass Stadium Tour in support of F-1 Trillion, his debut country album. The project includes Pour Me a Drink, a duet with Blake Shelton, which topped Billboard's Country Airplay chart. The Arizona show was among the largest of his summer dates. He's scheduled to continue the tour across major stadiums and arenas before heading to Europe and Asia in August.

Country artist Gavin Adcock publicly criticized Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter during a recent concert, expressing frustration that the Grammy-winning album currently ranks above his own on the Apple Music country albums chart. In footage shared online, Adcock addressed the crowd, referencing the chart rankings where Cowboy Carter sits at No. 3 while his own project, My Own Worst Enemy, is at No. 4. 'One of them's Beyoncé — you can tell her we're coming for her f—in' a–,' he told fans, who responded with loud cheers. He followed up with a pointed statement: 'That sh– ain't country music and it ain't ever been country music.' Later, on Instagram, Adcock expanded on his comments. He acknowledged Beyoncé's talent, citing childhood memories of her music, but stood by his belief that Cowboy Carter doesn't belong in the country genre. 'It doesn't sound country, it doesn't feel country,' he said. 'People who dedicate their lives to this genre shouldn't have to compete with it just because she's Beyoncé.' It ain't country — Gavin Adcock Music (@GavinAdcock) June 30, 2025 Cowboy Carter, released in 2024, has achieved major milestones, including topping the Billboard 200, winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammys, and spending weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums and Hot Country Songs charts. The album features a diverse group of artists, including Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Black country trailblazer Linda Martell. Billboard has reached out to Beyoncé's representatives for comment. Meanwhile, Adcock continues to promote his upcoming album and will join Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem Tour in July.

Benson Boone's American Heart debuts at No. 2 with mixed reviews
On June 30, 2025, Benson Boone's sophomore album American Heart debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. Released on June 20, the ten-track album blends pop rock with Americana influences and continues Boone's rise in the mainstream music scene. -Warner Records Critics have responded with mixed reviews. Many praised Boone's vocal strength and theatrical delivery, calling the album polished and emotionally charged. Others, however, described the lyrics as generic and questioned the album's thematic depth, noting that while the production is slick, the storytelling feels surface-level. Songs such as Mystical Magical and Momma Song have drawn attention for their catchy melodies and personal themes. The album was co-written in 17 days by Boone and collaborator Jack LaFrantz, with stylistic nods to early 2000s pop and artists like Bruce Springsteen. To support the release, Boone will embark on the American Heart World Tour from August through November 2025, performing across North America and Europe.
