AceShowbiz - Machine Gun Kelly is sorry after having a meltdown on stage during a recent performance. The 29-year-old rapper whose real name is Richard Colson Baker took to Twitter to apologize and promised to go to therapy when his tour ended.
"Tonight the frustrations from my personal life came out on the stage. Sorry to my fans and my band. I'll get help after tour is over," the "Roadies" actor tweeted to his over a million followers soon after a clip from the night went viral.
"I'm just addressing the obvious," Kelly added in another post. The father of one then assured fans that his tour would continue as scheduled. "Anyways, tour is nowhere near over so let’s go up till the calendar hits 2O2O [fire emoji]."
Kelly was caught on camera fuming at a crew member on the stage when he was performing Friday night, October 25 at the Credit Union 1 Pavilion in Chicago. He raged at one of his stagehands when an equipment malfunction occurred.
The rapper/actor and his band were playing his single "Hollywood W***e" when his guitar stopped working. He, frustrated, rushed backstage and shoved a crew member before returning to the front with the crew following closely behind with a mic stand.
It, however, only infuriated Kelly further as he shoved his guitar into the crew's chest and threw the mic stand across the stage while the crew scurried back. The rapper stood awkwardly on the stage before the song stopped playing. He then climbed to the riser before jumping down and went backstage to follow the poor crew.
"Hollywood W***e" is one of the tracks featured in Machine Gun Kelly's latest studio album "Hotel Diablo". He tattooed the album name on his head. "To me, and the reason it’s patched in on the back of my head and tattooed there, is because Hotel Diablo, it was right here - it was inside my head," he explained in an interview with Beats 1.
"The real you is never the perfect side of you. The real you is the honest side of you, and my honesty in going through my earlier years and in my 20s, it was dark," he added. "I subconsciously wanted that as the cover the whole time because I was confronting my childhood problems on this album for the first time ever."
