The singers took the ballad from Jelly Roll’s upcoming album, Beautifully Broken, all the way to Jimmy Fallon’s desk.

It’s been a busy week for Jelly Roll. On Friday, September 27, the “Son of a Sinner” singer played a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. The next night, he headlined the Global Citizen Festival and was also the Musical Guest on the Season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live. And on Monday, September 30 he stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a special collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Jelly Roll, MGK & Travis Barker take the “Lonely Road” to Jimmy Fallon’s desk

During the rousing live collaboration between Jelly Roll and MGK, the duo left the stage where bands perform and casually strolled over to Jimmy Fallon’s desk, where they continued singing the confessional lyrics  — eventually returning to where Barker played percussion on a trash can to close out their powerful production.

Before the “Lonely Road” performance, Jelly Roll sat down with Fallon to talk about his epic weekend, including how being the SNL Musical Guest wasn’t the most nerve-wracking part for him at SNL — it was acting in the cut-for-time “Blonde Dragon People” sketch.

“I was more nervous for the sketch, obviously, because I’m already… I’m a fish out of water in the music business,” he told The Tonight Show Host. “I’m a double fish out of water when I was there [at SNL]. I was like, ‘Oh, man, I’m just whaled out.’ It was fun. It was a really good time.”

When Fallon asked about working with MGK, Jelly Roll said he is “one of the greatest guys” — and remarkably, they’ve gone from feud to friendship.

“I just love him to death. We’ve known each other a long time, and we started on rocky roads and made amends,” he explained. “Now we’re just… we’re just taking over the world together. It’s so fun to do it. Life’s not always about what you do. It’s about who you do it with, and I’m getting to do the coolest thing in life with some of the coolest people, man. It’s awesome.”
