Machine Gun Kelly Shares Trailer For 'Tickets To My Downfall' Musical

Machine Gun Kelly recently shared a 15-second teaser trailer for Downfalls High, a musical adaptation of his Tickets To My Downfall album.

The movie, dubbed "the first of it's kind musical experience," will be narrated by Kelly and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Machine Gun Kelly, who turned director for the first time, told NME in an interview that he shot the musical in four days with collaborator Mod Sun.

"It was almost like shooting 14 music videos back-to-back, but with a narrative that's outside of my personal life stories," he said. "It focuses on other characters, and then me and [Travis Barker] are just the narrators. It's an interesting concept because it hasn't been done for an album ever, maybe outside of like Pink Floyd's The Wall."

The upcoming musical will also feature TikTok star Chase Hudson and Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney.

Last week, MGK spoke of his grand plans for next year, saying, "Definitely directing a movie, releasing another album, performing Tickets To My Downfall live - that's necessary. And being a good human, those are all my 2021 top of the list."
