After Machine Gun Kelly unveiled a deluxe edition of his new album Tickets To My Downfall just days after the original record's release, fans instantly lost their minds over a huge collaboration between YUNGBLUD and The Used's Bert McCracken. Now, though, attention has shifted towards to another bonus track: the romantic Hangover Cure, which has a possible nod to My Chemical Romance

Of course, there are plenty of references and tributes to Machine Gun Kelly's rock heroes throughout Tickets… – from the Fall Out Boy-sampling Body Bag, to the Operation Ivy-referencing All I Know (featuring Trippie Redd). And Hangover Cure also seemingly follows suit, with a subtle lyrical mention of My Chemical Romance's iconic third album, The Black Parade.

'Ever since you walked away, I can't wait to taste your breath,' MGK sings on the song, 'Sunset on my black parade, and I can't wait to see what's next.'

We already know that the musician is a fan of the band, having literally hung from the rafters as Welcome To The Black Parade was played at Emo Nite in LA – but he's clearly putting his fandom on tape for all to hear, too. Now all we need is to dig out a Panic! At The Disco reference on Tickets… somewhere and the Emo Trinity will be complete.
