We imagine being at a Post Malone concert as an 11-year-old is a pretty wild enough experience on its own, but imagine you come away with a memento from the man himself.
This wasn't a dream, but an incredible reality for one lucky kid at Malone's recent gig in Tampa Bay.
The 11-year-old, Winter, apparently made just as much of an impression on the Circles star as Malone did on her because, at the end of the show, the man himself came down from the stage to gift Winter his own personal guitar, reportedly worth in the region of $5,000.
And not only that, Malone had signed the axe as well.
Speaking to TMZ, Winter's mom, Jenn explained that both Winter and her other daughter, Brooklyn, are huge Post Malone fans, with this most recent gig on Tuesday night (August 1) the fifth PM show they've attended. Jenn also revealed that they've seen Malone gift smashed up guitars to fans after shows but have never seen him gift a pristine signed one like Winter received on Tuesday night.
According to TMZ, Winter doesn't know how to play the guitar yet, although we suspect this week's surprise gift may just be the right spark to make her want to follow in her hero's footsteps.
When handing the guitar over, Malone made Winter promise to treat the instrument with respect, and Jenn assured TMZ that that's what they'll do. Winter's current plan is to display the guitar in a case on her bedroom wall and never sell it.
As for Brooklyn, she didn't come away from the show in Tampa Bay empty-handed either. She was gifted Malone's sweaty post-show shirt and socks. Hopefully, she gives them a wash before displaying or wearing them though.
Malone, meanwhile, continues on tour, playing Dallas, TX tonight and tomorrow (August 5 and 6) and continuing through the South West, up to California before his shows reach South America on August 29 with a gig in Santiago, Chile. His final date for the year is currently listed as December 3, which will see the Sunflower singer play the Spilt Milk Festival in Perth, Australia.
Last Friday (July 28), Malone released his latest album, Austin, which has so far been very well received by critics and fans alike. The record is Malone's fifth, following on from last year's Twelve Carat Toothache, 2019's Hollywood's Bleeding, Beerbongs and Bentleys in 2018, and his 2016 debut Stoney.
