Rapper/pop rock artist Machine Gun Kelly paid tribute to his longtime friend Australian snowboarder Luke “The Dingo” Trembath in the new music video.
Trembath tragically passes away at 38-years-old in late February and the entire action sports world is in morning for this much beloved athlete. The music video titled “Your Name Forever” features scenes from a memorial service as friends and family gather around a mural of Trembath painted by Royyal Dog and footage from MGK and Dingo hanging out over the years.
“I’ma miss you brother. I hope this song honors your epic legacy. None of this will be the same without you.” -Machine Gun Kelly
Read MGK’s heartfelt thoughts about the passing of his friend below.
Machine Gun Kelly:
crazy…i didn’t even cry this hard when my dad died. i’ve lost a lot of friends, but i’ve never lost a brother. we’ll never get another Dingo on this planet. a true rockstar without ever needing to make a song, the most loyal, loud, charismatic, funny, and annoying human i’ve ever had the honor of knowing.
i’ll miss your epic toasts, i’ll miss dapping you up and my hand hurting everytime 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.
you were the glue between all of us.
telling my daughter you’re gone was one of my hardest phone calls, because she loved you so much. and i’ll never forget when she was too young to understand your name was Dingo so she called you Ping Pong.
i feel like your up there with my new child, dressed up in a hilarious costume making them laugh, getting ready to send them down. i couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet birth blessing.
life will always be less without you, but legends never die. we’ll all miss you brother.
DINGO FOREVER
