Machine Gun Kelly honours man's wish to punch him in face at concert
Machine Gun Kelly has honoured one man's wish to get punched in the face by him at a concert.
The super-fan rocked up to the Rock Werchter festival in Belgium over the weekend (1 July) with a slightly bizarre wish plastered on a handwritten sign.
Addressed to the 33-year-old 'Wild Boy' singer, the sign read: "I just came from Mexico 4 u 2 punch me in the face."

The clip, uploaded by the 'Emo Girl' hit-maker to Instagram himself, shows MGK spotting the fan's request before asking him: "Why do you want me to punch you in the face so bad?"
He continued: "I got rings on, dude. That s***'s gonna hurt."
Taking some time to contemplate, the star went on: "I don't know, it's a lose-lose for me. I don't know if I'm gonna do it. I'll consider [it]."
Some time later in the set, MGK had clearly made his mind up on the man's wish and made his way down to the front row barrier to finally give the bloke just what he came all the way to Belgium for.
He landed what looked like a punch on the softer side to the man's face who was, by this point, clearly beyond chuffed with the whole ordeal.
MGK then screamed out: "I love you!" as the crowd erupted in a chorus of cheer.
The musician has since shared the crowd footage to his 9.2 million followers yesterday (3 July) and captioned the video: "Making dreams come true," with a thumbs-up emoji.
At the time of writing, the concert clip has since clocked up over 258k likes and a whole avalanche of comments from people eager to share their reactions.
One Instagram user wrote: "Yooo bout the best thing I seen on this app in weeks."
Talking about the thrilled fan, a second posted: "It’s the way he was happy as hell."
"We love to see you making dreams come true," praised a third fan.
A fourth claimed: "Now that’s true love bro."
A final Instagram user commented: "That kid has the best story now forever."
The fan, Marcos Cid de la Paz, has since come forward and taken to Instagram to share exactly how he felt about the moment.
He uploaded a series of shots from the incident, captioning the post: "The one and only jawbreaker. Thank you very much for punching me in the face."
Well, it's definitely a memory he won't be forgetting anytime soon - that's for sure.
