Post Malone is a man of his word, fulfilling a promise made to a huge fan who’d gone through a life-altering medical episode, and we’ve got the pics from the super sweet face-to-face.
The whole thing started last year when Garrett Belanger’s sister Taylor made a Tik Tok detailing his story and Post responded. Garrett, a longtime Post Malone supporter, suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2022 — and he’s been slowly (but surely) recovering following a coma.

Post actually sent Garrett a bunch of merch and a video last August — not long after he came out of the coma — telling him to hit him up whenever he was ready to come to a show and rock out … and on Monday, he finally got that chance at Post’s concert in Buffalo, NY.

On Monday, Garrett, his sister Taylor, family and friends took Post up on his offer — getting to enjoy the singer’s show. We’re told not only did PM get them regular tickets … but he and his camp rolled out the red carpet for Garrett and his loved ones with VIP tickets and a backstage meet and greet.
The photos are pretty awesome — you can see Posty and Garrett hugging it out, and Garrett looks absolutely stoked. While he can’t talk or walk just yet … Taylor says Garrett can communicate by blinking now, and he was more than aware he was meeting his idol.
In addition to the meet-and-greet … the family brought Post a Garrett’s Army shirt that he put on while posing for the pictures. Considering how long this has been in the works … it’s truly full circle.
Pretty cool!
