Yungblud has opened up about Machine Gun Kelly's success in pop-rock. He told Billboard, “It’s f*cking brilliant! To see my mate, we feel like we’re part of a scene again. Rock 'n' roll is coming back very quickly, because it’s a scene. It’s not just one tw*t with a God complex and a leather jacket eating too much guacamole going 'I saved rock music.' Rock 'n' roll is about freedom and expression and defiance to conform. And you can only do that in a group.”
He continued, “Seeing my best bud and my best mate score a No. 1 album in his country was just magic. I couldn’t be more proud to know him and I couldn’t be more proud to kind of be with him on that journey.”
