Via TMZ:
Sources close to Post tell TMZ … there’s no need for fans to be alarmed, because he’s not on drugs or sick, in fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Our sources say Post previously gained some weight for a movie role, but ever since he’s been adhering to a strict diet and working out. Post’s been touring since September, and he does a 90-minute set, and we’re told that’s contributing to the weight loss too.
Many fans maintained there was no cause for concern as Malone was just being Malone.
