Post Malone ended his halftime show at the thanksgiving game between Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs with an emotional tribute to the late Marshawn Kneeland.
‘We love you, 94. We love you,’ the singer, a Cowboys fan, called out to the crowd at AT&T Stadium, referencing Kneeland’s jersey number.
Malone also had a large 94 pin on his jacket to honor Kneeland, who took his own life earlier this month.
Kneeland, 24, shot himself in the head in a porta-potty in Plano, Texas, after evading police in an astonishing pursuit sparked when he failed to pull over for a traffic violation in neighboring Frisco on November 6.
The defensive end crashed his black Dodge Charger and fled on foot in the late-night chase, but his body wasn’t discovered until hours later after a massive and at times chaotic search.
The Cowboys star had earlier sent his family a group text saying ‘goodbye’ during the drama involving the Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, according to a police audio dispatch.

Kneeland’s girlfriend Catalina Mancera, who is pregnant with his child, also warned the police that the NFL player had a gun and that she feared he would kill himself.
On Wednesday, the day before Malone’s hugely anticipated show, horrifying police camera footage emerged of the moment Kneeland’s body was discovered.
In the bodycam video obtained by the Daily Mail, one of the hardened officers can be heard exclaiming: ‘It is lurid.’
The Texas Department of Safety video footage shows four local police next to the structure situated in a parking lot beside a high-rise building as state troopers approach them.
A mass of blood lies in a wide stream on the ground leading from porta-potty, where the back of Kneeland’s slumped body can be seen. He is wearing what appears to be a black sweatshirt with the word ‘elevate’ in white lettering.
Another officer is seen flying a drone just off the ground to film for further evidence in the tragedy involving the rising star who had scored his first NFL touchdown only 48 hours earlier.Â
Meanwhile Malone, real name Austin Post, grew up a Cowboys fan after his dad got a job on concessions with the organization while the singer was a child.Â
His tribute to Kneeland won him a lot admiration on social media, with many television viewers taking to social media to commend him.
