Anyone who has lost a parent understands the inevitable heartache that goes along with it — and celebrities are certainly not immune.
On Sunday (July 5), Machine Gun Kelly announced his father had died in an Instagram post. He originally planned to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his Hotel Diabloalbum on that day, but the universe evidently had other plans.
“I had plans for the one year anniversary of Hotel Diablo today,” he captioned a photo of the project’s cover art. “that album was everything i wanted to say and i know it’s close to my fans…but my father took his last breath this morning, and ive never felt a pain this deep in my life. i’m setting my phone down. love you. thank you guys for everything.”
MGK is receiving plenty of public support following his father’s passing. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker wrote, “Send[ing] all the love in the world to you right now brother,” while Lil Skies said, “I love you brother so much.”
