‘Right place, right time': Post Malone pays for others' drinks at Boston bar
It's somewhat serendipitous that one of Heleena Norvette's favorite Post Malone songs is 'Pour Me a Drink' because the global superstar paid for hers during her birthday festivities last weekend.
Norvette was celebrating her 41st birthday when Post Malone covered her tab — and everyone else's — while the 'Circles' singer grabbed a drink at Blind Duck at Raffles Hotel in Boston on Friday night, May 30.
'We couldn't believe that a star like him of his magnitude was in just by himself really at the Raffles,' the finance manager and socialite told MassLive. 'We just happened to be at the right place at the right time.'

When Norvette got into Blind Duck at around 5:30 that night, she noticed Malone right away. The 'Sunflower' singer 'stood out like a sore thumb' because of his signature tattoos and cowboy hat.
'He was with one other guy. It wasn't like he had a ton of security or entourage with him or anything,' Norvette said.
She added that Malone was 'willing to take photos with people,' but she and her friend decided to play it cool and tried not 'to be a groupie' despite Norvette being a big fan.
Malone's kindness was exemplified when Norvette got her bill, which the 'Better Now' singer had already paid for. He did the same for the other 10 people who were in the bar during the short span of time that Malone was there.
'You hear some celebs are real a**holes and then some are amazing and you just never know,' Norvete said. 'But he was being so nice and cordial to everybody and it showed when he cleared the bill for everyone.'
Norvette added how Malone paying for her birthday drink was 'such a great start to my new year.'

Malone, who's real name is Austin Post, was in town ahead of his show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Saturday, May 31. The diamond-selling, Grammy-nominated musician is currently on 'The BIG ASS Stadium Tour' with Jelly Roll.
The tour is in support of Malone's latest and first country album, 'F-1 Trillion,' which was released in August 2014. The now platinum-certified project debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and contained the chart-topping hit 'I Had Some Help' with Morgan Wallen.
