Mick Jagger lists two musicians that he thinks are the saviors of Rock
“In rock music you need energy and there have not been a lot of new rock singers around. Now there are a few. You have Yungblud and Machine Gun Kelly. That kind of post-punk vibe makes me think there is still a bit of life in rock and roll.”
Machine Gun Kelly
Born in Houston, Texas back in 1990, Machine Gun Kelly released his debut album “Lace Up” in 2012 and most recently changed his sound more close to Hip Hop to Pop Punk.
