Travis Barker gives surprise performance at Machine Gun Kelly show

Looks like Travis Barker is on the mend following his stay in the hospital. He gave a surprise performance at Machine Gun Kelly’s Mainstream Sellout show at The Forum in Los Angeles on (7-13) Wednesday night. Marking his first on-stage appearance since his pancreatitis diagnosis last month.

As MGK introduced him, he said, “There’s a person I grew up idolizing that I became friends with and he believed in me. And never more have I wanted to jam to a song that he and I created. LA’s own, Travis Barker! Make some noise for him tonight.”

The Blink-182 drummer emerged to huge applause and settled in to play “Tickets to My Downfall” and “Bloody Valentine.”

Machine Gun Kelly told the audience, “You know, a fun fact is… Travis is not supposed to be playing drums right now, but guess what he’s doing? Playing drums right now.”
