Jelly Roll joined Morgan Wallen as a special guest for his concert at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, and he had a surprise for fans up his sleeve.
The “Need a Favor” star welcomed MGK onstage to perform their latest collaboration, “Lonely Road.” “Lonely road, take me home/ To the place that we went wrong/ Where’d you go now?/ It’s been a ghost town/ And I’m still here all alone,” they sing together in the chorus.

“Lonely Road” hit streaming services on Friday (July 26), which features an homage to John Denver’s 1971 tune “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Referring to themselves as KellyRoll, MGK revealed they worked on “Lonely Road” for “2 years, 8 different studios, 4 different countries, [and] changed the key 4 times.”
In the corresponding music video, the duo are joined by MGK’s girlfriend, actress Megan Fox, and Jelly’s wife, Bunnie Xo, who both have prominent roles in the emotional clip.
The collaboration marks MGK’s first release since revisiting his Hotel Diablo album with a deluxe edition earlier this month. For Jelly Roll, it follows his recent appearance on Eminem’s new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), where he featured on the emotionally charged track “Somebody Save Me.”
