In the Hulu documentary "Life in Pink," the 32-year-old singer opened up about the "wild paranoia" he felt following his father's death.

"(Fox and Casie) simultaneously came at me with this, like, 'I want to be able to see in your eyes. I don't want to be talking to you through a veil anymore. "I would always sleep with a shotgun next to my bed, and one of the days, I just (expletive) snapped. I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed.

Machine Gun Kelly, rock's most polarizing new superstar ... (nj.com)

Machine Gun Kelly's Mainstream Sellout tour played a packed concert in Camden Sunday night.

“You guys are responsible for so much of my happiness,” Kelly told the crowd. Travis Scott had a flying eagle, Justin Bieber had an inflatable military plane, MGK has this contraption, which later “killed” the internet with some firework blasts from its gun turrets. Yet even while Kelly, 32, has led a resurgence in the popularity of pop-punk over the last few years, his contributions in regard to elevating or innovating within the genre are minimal. I thought you were supposed to be a rapper.” Kelly responded with his new tune “Paper Cuts,” a throtting song that employs both his affection for early ‘00s pop-punk and steel-tongued hip-hop to prove he can, in fact, float between genres. “I am The Internet. I thought I put you in a box?” the monster bellowed Sunday night, rising from behind the stage. MGK’s utilization of Blink-182-inspired melodies — heavily influenced by his collaborator and Blink drummer Travis Barker (not in attendance) — has launched the fringe star to center-lane headliner status.

“Megan became like the sun to me — like the one that I revolve around and gives me life and like helps me grow,” the rocker said of his lady love, to whom he proposed with a highly symbolic two-stone engagement ring in January. And per usual, the pair opted for matching manicures — in pink, of course.

Megan Fox rocked pink hair on the red carpet at the premiere of Hulu's "Machine Gun Kelly's Life In Pink" to match fiancé MGK's look.

Back in May, the rapper surveyed his Twitter fans about whether he should have pink or blond hair for the tour, and pink narrowly won the vote. It’s unclear whether Fox’s new pink strands are here to stay, or whether this was a temporary switch for the “Life in Pink” premiere. The “Emo Girl” singer and Fox, who revealed their engagement in January, have a history of coordinating their looks.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are proving how much they love each other with matching hair colors at the premiere of the singer's upcoming documentary.

Her lightly wavy hair has dark brown roots that transition into a light pink hue with the very tips of the waves touching her waistline. Though we're sure Kelly will be keeping the bright hair color for a while, we have a good feeling that Fox's lighter pink hue is short-lived and the work of a perfectly dyed wig — but only time will tell. A few months later in May, they revealed matching voodoo doll finger tattoos on each of their ring fingers.
