Post Malone Surprises Paris Crowd With Chris Stapleton For Duet Of Their Song, “California Sober”

Such a great duo.

Post Malone has been on the road for his F-1 Trillion tour for much of this year, playing tons of shows in the United States, in addition to making a European trek this fall as well. He of course released his debut country album in 2024, which featured country stars like Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Billy Strings, and of course, the great Chris Stapleton.

Stapleton was featured on a song called “California Sober,” which was written by Post and Chris alongside Louis Bell, Ryan Vojtesak and Mark Holman. It has a really cool Southern rock feel to it, and to state what is extremely obvious, Stapleton’s soulful voice and powerful delivery just fits it so well. Post can hold his own vocally too, clearly, and so they make a really great team and it was easily one of the standouts from the original record.

While I was partial to the deluxe edition Post put out of just solo songs that felt decidedly more country in terms of the classic inspirations he’s talked about in the years leading up to his jump into country, “California Sober” was easily one of the standouts from the entire tracklist of features, per the usual.

And during a stop in Paris, France at at Paris La Défense Arena during a show as part of Post’s European leg, he surprised the crowd by bringing Stapleton out to perform their duet live, introducing him by saying:

“Chris, you’re one handsome son of a b***. Thanks so much for coming out. Ladies and gentlemen, one last time for the mother******* legend, Chris Stapleton.”

What an introduction…

They of course nailed it, and I’m sure the Paris crowd was thrilled with a surprise guest of this caliber.
