(Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) Machine Gun Kelly held a last-minute free concert in Toronto Wednesday night, but only 300 of the rapper turned rocker's eagle-eyed fans were lucky enough to get in. The American musician made several cryptic posts to his Instagram Stories in the lead up to the intimate concert at the Horseshoe Tavern. The first of which was a picture of a private jet and the caption 'Toronto bout to get some Lost Americana vibes today,' a reference to the title of his forthcoming album. In another post, MGK, real name Colson Baker, posted a selfie with the location tagged as Toronto, Ontario with the 'hush' emoji.

Videos from the concert showed a packed house as Baker took requests from the crowd and whimsically opened packs of Pokémon cards between songs, hoping to pull a holographic Charizard. MGK's latest album comes out Friday.
