How Post Malone says his daughter saved his life

Post Malone (whose real name is Austin Richard Post) keeps his two-year-old daughter’s name private, and has her initials tattooed on his forehead.

Appearing on  CBS Sunday Morning, he was asked about ‘Yours’, a track from his album that sees him imagine his daughter’s wedding day. His country-inspired sixth studio record is out on August 16. Despite his success, Malone faced a challenging period and shares how he overcame it.

He said he had “written a whole lot of songs” about his only child. “It changes your life in the best way ever,” he shared. “I’ll never forget her. If you’ve heard her cry, you’ll never forget her, either.”

The musician also touched on loneliness, and how he felt lost on a “rough path” before finding his current partner, who he called the “number one mom in the universe”, explaining that he used to break down in tears and drink often.

“I don’t feel like that anymore and that’s the most amazing thing,” he said, before adding that he “needed to” go through that experience to “figure out” who he is.
