Travis Barker performed live for the first time after he was hospitalised recently.

The Blink-182 star joined Machine Gun Kelly live onstage on Wednesday.

He had been hospitalised with pancreatitis, and his daughter urged fans to "pray" for his recovery.

It came as a surprise to his supporters to see him onstage during Kelly's show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

Kelly said: "There's a person I grew up idolising 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."

Barker then joined Kelly on the drums for 'Title Track', a song that they co-wrote together for MGK's album.

He then performed 'Bloody Valentine' with the singer.

Kelly joked: "You know, a fun fact is that Travis is not supposed to be playing drums right now but guess what he's doing here? Playing drums right now!"

"Trav, I know we agreed to one song but I would be remissed (sic) if I did not ask you to play 'one more song'."

Kourtney Kardashian was in the crowd watching alongside Kelly's fiancée Megan Fox.

Lil Wayne, Halsey, and Blackbear also appeared with Kelly, along with Willow and Avril Lavigne.

Barker is scheduled to be joining Kelly on tour from 2 and 11 August.
