Yelawolf dropped his sophomore album Love Story this week, following up 2011's Radioactive. The 18-track effort is mostly absent of features save for his mentor Eminem on their collaboration "Best Friends." However, there is one guest joining Yelawolf for the live version of his new work: none other than Blink-182 drummer extraordinaire Travis Barker.
"Travis Barker unofficially joined the band," Yelawolf told Radio.com in a new interview. "Well, that means when he's not with Blink, when he's not with Transplants, when he's not with Run the Jewels, when he's not running a multi-million dollar company [in reference to Famous Stars and Straps], when he's not eating, and when he has truly nothing to do, he's going to be on tour with us."
Yelawolf didn't offer up many details regarding Barker's unofficial membership, however.
"Maybe you'll see Travis Barker on the road, maybe you won't," the rapper said. "But he's in my band, whether you like it or not."
As Radio.com notes, the two previously collaborated on a side project called Psycho White, for which they released an EP in 2012.
Yelawolf's upcoming tour runs through June, hitting cities such as Detroit, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles. Check out a full list of dates here.
Meanwhile, Barker and Blink-182 are dealing with the dramatic departure of Tom DeLonge from the band. Their new lineup includes Alkaline Trio guitarist Matt Skiba in DeLonge's place.
