American rockstar Machine Gun Kelly performed an emotional track from his new album, “Mainstream Sellout,” at the Billboard Music Awards May 15. He dedicated his heartfelt ballad, “Twin Flame,” to his fiancée, actress Megan Fox.
“I wrote this song for my wife,” he said before breaking into song.
Within the lyrics, he shared the story of how the couple first met and expressed his deep love for her that was present, even in the early stages of their relationship.
When the first half of the song faded out, Machine Gun Kelly paused to reflect on the moment and then announced that the second part was dedicated to another.
“And this is for our unborn child,” he said, before continuing with lyrics that shifted the song into a slower, sadder ambience.
“Go to sleep
I’ll see you in my dreams
This changes everything
Now I have to set you free.”
He sang, causing the energy in his performance to shift completely. The sound of a heartbeat followed after, creating more depth behind the song and making it infinitely more impactful to the audience and viewers.
Long before Machine Gun Kelly confirmed it in this performance, dedicated fans had speculated that the heartbeat sound represented a baby. This led many to believe that the artist and Fox must have experienced a miscarriage.
Despite this tragic loss, Machine Gun Kelly’s talent and ability to share his personal life through his music continues to make him a beloved artist among his fanbase. Fans quickly took to social media, offering condolences and unwavering support.
