Multi-platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated artist Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has released a deeply personal new track, Your Name Forever, in honor of his close friend Dingo, who tragically passed away two weeks ago.

The tribute comes with a poignant music video directed by Sam Cahill, featuring MGK performing on a rooftop overlooking the Hollywood Hills. Behind him, a striking mural of Dingo—painted by renowned artist Royyal Dog—serves as a powerful visual representation of his lasting memory. The video also includes heartfelt clips of Dingo, capturing his larger-than-life personality and infectious energy.

The song features an all-star lineup of musicians who were also close to Dingo. Background vocals come from M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon, and Mod Sun, while Avenged Sevenfold’s Synyster Gates delivers an emotional lead guitar performance.

Sharing his grief in an Instagram post, MGK reflected on the special bond he had with Dingo:

"I'll miss your epic toasts, I'll miss dapping you up and my hand hurting every time because you had some odd amount of Australian strength goin' on. I'll miss your bellyflops, I'll miss watching you walk through the door and lifting the energy of every pivotal event in my adult life, I'll miss you pissing me off, but most of all, I'll miss your laugh."

More than just a song, Your Name Forever stands as a heartfelt tribute to friendship, loss, and the impact of those we love. Fans can listen to the track and watch the moving video now.
