The news isn't very surprising, since the pair recently worked together on Willow's GROW single, with Barker providing the drums on the collab.

The 37-year-old rocker was also one of the artists to perform at the NoCap x Travis Barker House of Horrors gig this past Halloween weekend.
Speaking of his imprint, the Blink rocker said: "I wanted a label partner that I trusted with true artist development.
“As an artist, it's important to me that an artist's vision is protected at all costs. It's crucial that I'm able to look an artist in the eye and believe it when I say we can take them from a basement to an arena. Elektra's track record and belief are proof of that, and I'm stoked to continue to build that legacy together through DTA Records."
Avril Lavigne is seeming to return to her pop-punk roots after 2019's emotional departure, Head Above Water, which detailed the star's battle with Lyme disease.
And the Girlfriend singer previously confirmed her seventh studio album is complete after working on it in the studio with producer John Feldmann, Mod, Travis, and Machine Gun Kelly.
Lavigne is also currently dating rap rocker Mod Sun and teamed up with her beau on his track Flames.
Watch their official video, which. was released in January this year:
