blink-182 join Goody Grace for moving "Scumbag" performance

blink-182 joined Goody Grace last night (Feb. 27) on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, for a performance of their collaborative song “Scumbag.”

“Scumbag” dropped last October and Goody Grace has been busy ever since. He’s been seen in the studio working with Machine Gun Kelly and just announced a U.S. headlining tour.

Of course, blink-182 have been no slouches since “Scumbag” released either. Travis Barker started his own record label and is producing MGK’s pop-punk record Tickets To My Downfall. Mark Hoppus has been seen working with Atreyu as well as featuring on the Used‘s upcoming album Heartwork.

The “Scumbag” collaboration was months in the making (or years if you take into consideration Grace’s self-proclaimed fandom). Back in November 2018, the vocalist made a dream come true by joining the pop-punk trio as support on two nights of their Las Vegas residency, Kings Of The Weekend.

“blink-182 is the reason I started playing guitar when I was a kid,” Grace shares. “Their music helped me through my entire childhood and teenage years, and I couldn’t be more honored to have them on a song of mine. Travis Barker reached out to me last fall to open for blink in Las Vegas, and we’ve become great friends since then. I hope ‘Scumbag’ can be the anthem for people’s lives such as blink’s entire discography is for me.”

The performance sees Goody Grace standing alone with a guitar as he croons his way through the first verse and chorus before Hoppus and Barker back him up full band. Watch the performance below.
