Machine Gun Kelly reflected on the death of his close friend Luke “The Dingo” Trembath ahead of the birth of his baby with ex Megan Fox.
Machine Gun Kelly is experiencing dueling emotions.
As he eagerly awaits the birth of his baby with ex Megan Fox, the “Lonely Road” singer shared a heartbreaking tribute to his close friend Luke “The Dingo” Trembath, who recently passed away at age 39.
“I’ve lost a lot of friends, but I’ve never lost a brother,” MGK wrote in a post on Instagram March 7. “We’ll never get another Dingo on this planet. A true rockstar without ever needing to make a song, the most loyal, loud, charismatic, funny, and annoying human I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”
Amid his grief, the rocker (real name Colson Baker) reflected on his impending arrival and shared how he envisioned the late pro snowboarder, whose death was confirmed Feb. 28, still being part of the baby prep.
“I feel like your [sic] up there with my new child, dressed up in a hilarious costume making them laugh, getting ready to send them down,” he continued. “I couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet birth blessing.”
MGK added, “Life will always be less without you, but legends never die. We’ll all miss you brother.”
In addition to the touching connection to his and Megan’s baby, the 33-year-old went on to convey how much the loss has also affected his daughter Casie, 15, who he shares with Emma Cannon.
“Telling my daughter you’re gone was one of my hardest phone calls, because she loved you so much,” he wrote. “And I’ll never forget when she was too young to understand your name was Dingo so she called you Ping Pong.”
While Dingo previously admitted that he and MGK didn’t initially get along, the Australian-born athlete explained that their bond was inevitable.
“We’re just very similar,” he said on the Back to Your Story podcast in 2022. “He’s got a dark past, I’ve got a dark past and when you put that behind you… I think I’m very good at spotting greatness and he’s always had greatness in him.”
That same year, Dingo shared a touching note in support of his pal, writing on Instagram that he was “proud of him and the man he has become.”
