Having struggled with alcohol, cocaine and heroin throughout the years, Machine Gun Kelly has come clean about his sobriety from booze and other substances.
Born Colson Baker, the now 34-year-old musician has addressed his recovery process in order to get sober. On Monday (8.05) during the Dumb Blonde Podcast, Kelly said:
“I’m completely sober from everything. I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t drank since last August.”
Admitting that he secretly went to rehab following the close of his 2023 European Tour, the superstar singer/songwriter went on to say:
“I didn’t tell anybody outside of the (people) closest to me. That was my first time I ever went to rehab. They just gave me so many ways to operate the body and show where this anger is coming from and methods to quell it.” “I met with a lot of psychiatrists, some who gave up on me and many therapists who did the same. But I ended up falling into an awareness of what my condition is and have made peace with it. It’s a constant tightrope walk.”
Kelly’s first full length, Lace Up (2012) addressed his battles against heroin and also featured him rapping about cocaine use. He explained that he wanted to get sober for the benefit of his fiancée Megan Fox and his daughter, Casie.
