Machine Gun Kelly has broken his back after fans failed to catch him as he attempted to stage-dive from a roof.
On Tuesday, June 9, the rapper-slash-rockstar took to his Instagram Stories to reveal that he was seriously injured during his Lost Americana Tour stop at Hartford three days before.
“I messed up my back really, really bad,” MGK said in a video while sitting on a couch, straining to get the words out. “I have trouble just standing or picking things up. I can’t even stand up without using my arms and upper body strength to support my back.”
Born Colson Baker, the musician assured fans that he would not cancel any of his upcoming shows, although he asked for understanding. “If I move funky at any of these upcoming shows, I don’t want you to think I’m not giving it my all,” the Grammy nominee said.
“I’m just really, really hurt, dude,” he continued. “It hurts to breathe. But I want to heal mentally. I know this is a big mental game, and I know my body is pretty indestructible, so I’m just going to… nothing’s more important than the show that’s going on, you know? I’m not canceling anything.”
MGK has 15 stops left on its Lost Americana World Tour, including several shows in Canada. The tour started in November 2025, with European and UK dates in early 2026.
