Machine Gun Kelly Forced To Change 'Tickets To My Downfall' Cover Art

Machine Gun Kelly is gearing up to release his pop punk album Tickets to My Downfall, but he's going to have to make a last-minute change before it drops in a few weeks.

After sharing the tracklist and album artwork the weekend on Twitter, a user pointed out a striking resemblance between the cover art and a photo that already exists.

"i guess the artist used a reference?" they wrote.

"found out that the album cover i released was essentially copied from a photo we do not own," the rapper wrote, addressing the incident. "i didn’t make this design so i apologize to the original artist. i’m in the process of replacing it right now."

Tickets to My Downfall is slated for a September 25 release and was produced by blink-182's Travis Barker.

“This whole thing started out with one studio session. We’ve been great friends for a decade. So this was just like, ‘Hey, let’s just do a random day of work.’ The energy was so immense that came from it…" MGK explained earlier this year about working with Barker. “And it was so powerful that Travis was like, ‘F**k it, I’m blocking off two months of my life and we’re doing this album.’ So I know it has some of that feel and some of that album’s classic nostalgia in this because otherwise we wouldn’t have just stopped everything we were doing to do this.”

MGK has released three tracks from the album: "Concert For Aliens," "Bloody Valentine," and "My Ex's Best Friend."
