Machine Gun Kelly has shared his feelings of being “broken” while discussing his mental health. The artist, also known as MGK, has been transparent about his struggles, including thoughts of suicide and substance abuse. However, he is now focused on addressing his issues.
During a recent event at the Grammy Museum in Downtown Los Angeles, MGK expressed that his vulnerability and authenticity have helped him connect with his dedicated fanbase. He acknowledged feeling broken but emphasized his commitment to working on himself and rebuilding.
Despite his efforts to heal, MGK has concerns about losing his creative spark once he overcomes his challenges. He reflected on his previous mainstream success and how it impacted his songwriting. Writing has been a therapeutic outlet for him, particularly during a rehabilitation period around Christmas, where he filled a red notebook with his thoughts.
MGK uses his journal to plan his life and set goals for his personal and professional growth. He mentioned a ritual of writing down aspirations and burning them on a new moon, sharing an anecdote about his Grammy aspirations. He continues to explore his emotions and vulnerabilities in his latest album, “lost americana.”
In a recent interview with People magazine, MGK described himself as a “rolling stone,” navigating obstacles on his chosen path. He values vulnerability as a means of connecting with his fan base on a deeper level, aiming to reveal the man behind the persona of MGK.
For those facing similar struggles, MGK encourages seeking support. He shared contact information for organizations offering help with mental health, drug addiction, and alcohol abuse. He also advised fans to follow Mirror Celebs on various social media platforms for the latest entertainment news.
