Iconic artist Machine Gun Kelly lost his calm in the middle of his sold-out show at the Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, June 28. He was seen yelling at one of the fans from the audience and later smashed his guitar. The American rapper also stormed off the stage towards the end of his show in New York City.

Another crew member then caught hold of the 32-year-old pink-haired artist when he was yelling from a short distance. The band continued playing regardless and Machine Gun Kelly made his way back to the stage eventually.

He then picked up a guitar and smashed it. After his act was wrapped up, Machine Gun Kelly slammed a champagne flute against his head like Tommy Lee has been seen doing, but without any apparent control over it. He hit himself in the head with such strong force that the glass shattered and left his face bleeding in the arena.



 

However, the following day, he woke up and updated fans and followers via his Instagram Story. "I don’t give a f–k, bro. I don’t give a s–t," said the artist. The 'I Think I'm OK' artist performed his hit song 'My Ex's Best Friend' while he was still bleeding. 



 

In the Hulu documentary titled 'Life in Pink', Kelly spoke about a moment when he felt like giving up after the death of his father. He was on the phone with his fiancee Megan Fox. Kelly said, "I wouldn’t leave my room and I started getting really, really, really dark. Megan went to Bulgaria to shoot a movie and I started getting this really wild paranoia. Like, I kept getting paranoid that someone was gonna come and kill me. I called Megan. I was like, ‘You aren’t here for me.’ I’m in my room and I’m, like, freaking out on her. Dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth. And I’m yelling on the phone and like the barrel’s in my mouth. And I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet, as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan’s like dead silent."

It was at this moment that Kelly realized he needs to stay alive for his daughter Casie, 12, and his future wife. Whether or not he was under the influence at the point is undetermined but he said, "I was like, I need to kick the drugs for real this time."
