Travis Barker's son, Landon Barker, surprised fans by joining Machine Gun Kelly on stage in New York after his dad was rushed to hospital.
Reports revealed the Blink-182 drummer arrived at West Hill Hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning (28 June) before being taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for reasons that remain unknown to the public.
The last thing Barker tweeted before news of his hospitalisation broke was the cryptic message, "God save me". It's an apparent reference to his 2022 song with Kelly, though many fans noted the poignant timing of the tweet.

Neither Barker nor his wife Kourtney Kardashian have provided updates on his situation since, but across the country on Tuesday evening Kelly was performing at New York City's infamous Madison Square Garden, where he asked the crowd: "Does anybody in here ever feel lost sometimes?”
He then introduced Barker's son to the crowd, saying: “New York City, make some noise for Landon Barker!”
Neither Landon or Kelly are said to have addressed Barker's situation while on stage, and instead focused on entertaining fans with their hit track 'Die In California', which features on Kelly's Mainstream Sellout album.
Barker's daughter, 16-year-old Alabama, asked fans to send their prayers to her father amid his health issues and also momentarily shared a TikTok video showing the drummer lying on a hospital bed. The video has since been deleted.
The drummer, 46, has previously been hospitalised for blood clots in his arms and has suffered with a staph infection and the bacterial infection cellulitis, which can cause swelling, inflammation and pain, Deadline reports.
TMZ, which was first to report on the news of Barker's trip to hospital, said he was taken to Cedars-Sinai after staff at West Hill Hospital felt he needed additional care.
Barker tied the knot with Kardashian at a ceremony in Italy just last month after holding a 'practise' wedding in Las Vegas in April, when they shared pictures of themselves standing in a chapel and being married by an Elvis impersonator.
Fans have shared their well-wishes for Barker in the wake of his health issues, with many expressing their hopes that he will get well soon.
One fan wrote: "Travis Barker tweeted "God save me" today. He is in the hospital and his daughter, Alabama, is asking for prayers. I've lifted you up in prayer, @travisbarker, and will keep praying. God and family are what matters. What a distraction most things on this planet are."
