Machine Gun Kelly gets music legend to introduce his new album
Bob Dylan appears to have narrated the trailer for Machine Gun Kelly's forthcoming album, Lost Americana.
After the 84-year-old music legend surprised fans by sharing footage of the rap rocker, 35, on his Instagram in February, he's played a part in the unveiling of Colson Baker's first album since 2022's Mainstream Sellout.
In the clip, Dylan (as sources confirmed to Variety) says of the collection: 'It's a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom.
'From the glow of neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces. Where the past is reimagined, and the future is forged on your own terms.'
In the video, MGK is seen having fun with friends and hanging out in the mountains.
Earlier this year, Dylan shared a clip of MGK performing acoustically at Park Ave CDs store in Orlando, Florida.
The Rap Devil star then got to meet the 'Like a Rolling Stone' hitmaker, 'all because of a video of me rapping in a music store 10 years ago."
He joined Dylan onstage at Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival Tour stop in Los Angeles with Billie Strings, John Stamos, and Johnny Knoxville.
After the appearance, he penned on X: 'i met and had a conversation with someone last night that i never thought i'd get the honor to meet all because of a video of me rapping in a music store 10 years ago. i love music. (sic)"
Lost Americana is set to be released on August 8.

Silentó: American rapper sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing his cousin Frederick Rooks III
American rapper Silentó, best known for his viral 2015 dance hit Watch me (Whip/Nae Nae), has been sentenced to 30 years in prison over the shooting death of his cousin. The 27-year-old, whose real name is Richard 'Ricky' Lamar Hawk, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to charges relating to the fatal shooting of Frederick Rooks III in 2021. Silentó was sentenced to 30 years in prison with credit for time served since February 2021. The Atlanta artist was initially arrested after the Dekalb County Police Department found Mr Rooks, 34, with gunshot wounds to his face and leg in January 2021. Prosecutors claim Silentó shot his cousin multiple times before fleeing the scene. The rapper admitted to killing Mr Rooks during a post-arrest interview with investigators and authorities said bullet casings from the scene matched the gun found on the rapper when he was arrested. After his arrest, Silentó's publicist at the time, Chanel Hudson, said the rapper had been struggling with mental health issues. 'Over the past several years, Ricky has been suffering immensely from a series of mental illnesses,' she wrote in a statement posted online. 'We will continue in his efforts of treatment but we ask in the meantime the public uplift him and his family in immediate prayer and positive energy!!' The rapper was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder in jail, according to court filings. Silentó released his most popular song Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) in 2015 when he was a junior, or Year 11 student, at Redgan High School. The song ignited a viral dance trend and spent 51 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No .3. It has more than 400 million Spotify streams and 1.9 billion views on YouTube.

Pop superstar Katy Perry spotted in local designer ‘onesie'
It is not uncommon to spot a onesie-wearing Australian in the colder months down under but an American superstar has joined in the trend while on tour. Snapped at Luna Park in Sydney, pop superstar Katy Perry was seen in an Aussie designer's fluffy offering looking calm, collected and super comfy. The showbiz queen clearly has good taste as the onesie was from none other than Australian sleepwear king Peter Alexander's collection. So chuffed was the designer he shared the pic on his official Instagram account. There's a bear in there… And it's Katy Perry! Credit: MEDIA-MODE / JaydenSeyfarth/ While a large portion of Australians go to bed wrapped in Alexander's sleepwear, it is nice to know he has an international following too. The fluffy bear onesie appears to be a popular choice and is sold out online with some children's sizes available. The adorable snap also captured Perry holding the hand of her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, whose father is Hollywood superstar Orlando Bloom — Perry's partner since 2016. Days after the Californian diva had a security scare when an audience member charged the stage at her sold-out Qudos Bank Arena show in Sydney, news has surfaced that the A-list couple's relationship may be on the rocks. The couple are contending with rumours of a potential split following Daily Mail reports Perry was spotted without her wedding ring on the tour and following tensions created around the flop of her 2024 album 143. 'Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It's like, 'La la la la la, I love you. Alright, let's move on,'' the pop superstar previously said in 2024. She also mentioned the impact that their domestic blow-ups had on their four-year-old daughter Daisy. 'We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that,' Ms Perry said. 'He's a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There's two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego. When the ego is running the show, then it's like, 'Whoa.' But when that's in check, then we're both something else.'' Mr Bloom, who is in New York for the Tribeca Film Festival, has spoken previously about the challenging moments in their partnership. 'Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity.' Perry is currently in Melbourne before her tour heads to Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
