Machine Gun Kelly, the "My Ex's Best Friend" singer, knows exactly how to handle unexpected events, particularly when they occur during his concerts. During his March 5 performance at London's O2 Arena, he sprang into action after inviting a group of fans onstage, which led to one concertgoer falling through a gap in the stage floor.
As MGK (real name Colson Baker) began singing his song "Bloody Valentine," he reached out his arm to help hoist the fan back onto the platform while continuing to recite the lyrics. "Oh my God, hold up," he exclaimed, as seen in a TikTok video. "Are you OK?" After ensuring that the fan was indeed alright, the 35-year-old, who is a father to Casie Colson Baker, 16, with ex Emma Cannon and Saga Blade Fox-Baker, 11 months, with ex-fiancée Megan Fox, resumed his performance.
"Let's f--king go," he told the crowd, resuming his performance with renewed energy. Moments later, the fan seemed to apologize for the mishap, but MGK embraced the unplanned incident instead. "Sorry? That was the coolest thing you could've ever f--king done," he said in another TikTok clip from the concert. "This is the first time I've ever sold out the O2. That's the first time anyone's ever fallen off the stage, dude."
Before the group of fans left the stage, MGK shared a hug with the woman and gave her a one-of-a-kind memento to remember her experience. "I wear this hat every f--king day," he said, noting that the garment was made for him by a friend. "It's special, but f--k that, it's yours."
MGK has certainly proven to be a master at handling unexpected encounters, both onstage and off. During a recent outing with Casie at the Stella McCartney show during Paris Fashion Week, he stepped in to correct paparazzi who seemed to mistook the teen for his former partner. As seen in a YouTube video posted on March 4, while photographers shouted "Megan!" during MGK and Casie's arrival to the event, he turned and flashed a smile as he gently responded, "That's my daughter, not Megan."
