Musician Post Malone is on his way to the United Kingdom this week, with a trip to the KSI vs Logan Paul boxing match on the agenda for Saturday night, but is having some dangerous travel issues.
A small jet reportedly carrying 16 people, one of whom is the ‘Rockstar’ artist, has blown its tires, and is currently circling the air in order to burn fuel for an emergency landing.
According to TMZ, the jet took off from Teterboro Airport, near New York City, just before 11am local time, when the pilot reported problems.
Fox News was told by the Federal Aviation Administration that the aircraft blew its tires when taking off, headed for Luton airport in London.
