![]() ![]() You just have to be at the right place, right time and know his movements. I don’t think anybody knew he was going to go up and lick the flames (laughs). They had rehearsals before for safety precautions. He pushed it to the limit and let them do their thing. There are these girls who are fire spinners and twirlers. Both times we went to Europe, they came out. Yeah, there are these girls called the Psycho Dolls in Warsaw, Poland.

He may smoke a joint and do something crazy with it. He’ll jump in the crowd or climb or something. He’ll throw a curveball every now and then. I’ve done hundreds of shows with him, so now I have a general idea of these things he does on each song. What do you know now about photographing MGK onstage that you didn’t know before?Īlways be ready (laughs). We came back home for a month or two and then went back over for his “27 Tour,” which was for his Bloom album. I was with him in Europe for six months and basically the whole summer. The first tour was really a festival run we did over in Europe. From there, my life changed in three weekends. He came out of his house with this big bouquet of flowers and said, “Get ready to take a photo of me.” I took a photo of him, he ended up liking it, and from there on, we had a radio show the next day which I linked with him on… After that, he asked me if I wanted to shoot a music video the next weekend in Vegas. So, I went ahead and did the radio show with him. I’m from Indiana, is from Ohio, so obviously there’s a midwest connection. It was the first day his album Bloom dropped, so one of my buddies contacted me and asked if I wanted to link with him that day. ![]() He needed somebody for a radio show down in the San Diego area.

For ’Tour Tales,’ we dig into the rider requests, delayed shows, diligent preparation, and future of touring by talking with the multitude of people that move behind the scenes. Musicians are barely getting a slice of music industry revenue, largely eating off of live performances instead.
