Machine Gun Kelly lost his cool amid his sold-out Madison Square Garden concert on Tuesday (June 28).

The 32-year-old musician - real name Colson Baker - was recorded walking over to a male employee after storming off the stage at the end of his performance.

According to Page Six, an observer saw Kelly yelling at the employee from a short distance while another crew member jumped in between the two and appeared to try and calm MGK.

After the incident, the 'Bloody Valentine' singer then returned to the stage with a guitar in hand, picked it up, and smashed it before lying down as his band continued to play.

Watch the video below:

After the concert, Kelly attended an after-party where he hit his forehead with a champagne flute during a speech. The 'Emo Girl' singer smashed the glass on his head with such strength that it shattered and left him bleeding.

MGK shared footage of the moment on his Instagram Story on Wednesday (June 29), and he was heard saying: "I don’t give a f***, bro. I don’t give a s***", with the caption reading: "and this is when things turned…"

In a second video posted on his Instagram story captioned "f*** it", Kelly went on to perform his song 'My Ex’s Best Friend' for the audience while blood was running down his face.

MGK appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday night to explain why he smashed a glass against his face. He said: "You know when you clink a champagne glass with a fork to kind of get people’s attention? Yeah, I didn’t have a fork. So I just clinked it on my head."

"Well, I know you did a sold-out show at MSG last night. Congratulations," the late-night host said. "But last time you were here, you had just done the VMAs. You had hurt your hand at the VMAs, and you hurt yourself again last night at MSG."

Kelly then joked: "Yeah, I’m going to start having doctors around me every time I see Seth Meyers on my schedule."

The rapper-turned-rocker was celebrating the release of his new documentary, Life in Pink, on Hulu. In his documentary, Kelly revealed that he almost took his own life while on the phone with his now-fiancée, Megan Fox, as he grieved the loss of his father.

"I wouldn’t leave my room and I started getting really, really, really dark. Megan went to Bulgaria to shoot a movie and I started getting this really wild paranoia. Like, I kept getting paranoid that someone was [going to] come and kill me, " he recalled.

"I called Megan. I was like, ‘You aren’t here for me.’ I’m in my room and I’m, like, freaking out on her. Dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth. And I’m yelling on the phone and like the barrels in my mouth. And I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet, as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan’s like dead silent," he added.

The moment helped Kelly acknowledge that he needed to look after his mental health and well-being for his future wife and his 12-year-old daughter, Casie. "I was like, I need to kick the drugs for real this time," he said.
