  "account": "Post Malone has canceled his upcoming tour of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand due to the postponement of his Asia and Australian tour. The \"Rockstar\" singer was set to perform at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium, Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium, Sydney's ENGIE Stadium, and Auckland's Go Media Stadium. Additionally, he was scheduled to headline three Strummingbird Festival appearances in Ballarat, Newcastle, and Sunshine Coast. These shows have been shelved, with no reason provided for the cancellation. The Australia dates have been removed from the official Ticketmaster page, and the New Zealand show is listed as \"cancelled\". Live Nation has not announced new dates for Malone's headline tour in these regions. This marks the U.S. singer and rapper's first headlining shows in Asia and Australia since his 2023 Spilt Milk festival run in Canberra, Ballarat, and Perth, and his 2023 opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers on his six-date Australasian stadium tour. Despite the cancellation, Post Malone remains popular on the Australian charts, with all of his seven albums impacting the ARIA top 10, including No. 1 hits like Beerbongs & Bentleys in 2018 and Hollywood's Bleeding in 2019. His most recent country album, F-1 Trillion from 2024, peaked at No. 2. Recently, Malone announced his engagement to Christy Lee, and performed the song \"Chrome Heartbreaker\" during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Closing Ceremony. His August 26th mixtape has also been made available for streaming.",
