On Twitter, Jess Magera has shared a post saying that, allegedly, Bam Magera smashed a guitar he and his brother were gifted by Billy Idol, claiming that Bam destroyed the guitar during a “psychotic episode.”

Recently, Jess made claims that Bam attacked him and, allegedly, threatened to kill other people; a warrant was issued for Bam’s arrest, and not long after, Bam turned himself in to the police.

On his Twitter, Jess has been posting about Bam, expressing how he feels about his brother.

Among the posts he has shared, Jess talked about an incident where Bam allegedly destroyed an acoustic guitar that Billy Idol had gifted to the siblings. Writing about this incident, Jess says:

“Of all the guitars to smash while having a psychotic episode, bam chose the Martin acoustic we got from @BillyIdol Unforgivable.”

Among those to comment on Jess’ post is Billy Idol himself. Per his reply to Jess’ post, Idol shares that, while the guitar can be replaced, it’s important that Bam gets well. Per Idol:

“That is a shame but we can replace it … but Bam, we need him well..”

Billy Idol is one of several individuals who have vocalized concern over Bam Magera’s health. Along with Jackass star Steve-O, ex-HIM singer Ville Valo has also commented on Magera, saying that “it’s just sad to see that he’s turning into the monster that he’s turning into.”
