Machine Gun Kelly is a skilled performer and artist, there's no denying it. He can give a show like no other and go to lengths that other artists won't. Even his relationship with Megan Fox is a testament to that.

On Saturday, the "Bloody Valentine" rocker completed the "Mainstream Sellout" tour in his hometown of Cleveland by zipping the whole length of a football field.

After his performance at FirstEnergy Stadium, a source close to the musician told Page Six, that the idea was his concept and was done in less than 24 hours.

"The zip line was erected that day to take him from the top of the Browns' stadium across 50,000 fans to the opposite side of the field," the insider explained. "He announced to the audience that up until a few hours before the show he was told it couldn't be done," the source added.

"It was a thrilling moment from any angle as you can see from the many videos circulating. MGK, 32, captioned a video of the prank he posted to Instagram on Sunday with "until I die."

The video saw him ziplining in orange slacks and a black tank top above a roaring crowd of Ohio fans. Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker, who joined the tour against doctor's orders after a "life-threatening" episode of pancreatitis in late June, performed elsewhere in the show.

"Against his doctor's orders AND with a broken thumb, I convinced @travisbarker to join us for the last couple days ," MGK wrote on Instagram ahead of his final few shows.

Kourtney Kardashian, the wife of the Blink-182 drummer, was among the hundreds in attendance in Cleveland and watched the act from backstage.

The "Kardashians" star revealed she's embracing the "tour wife" title by posting a series of photos from the road with her husband, Travis Barker. She captioned a photo of her sitting on her husband's lap while he played the drums with "time for drum practice." Barker added, "Favorite time of the day " before posting a similar video to his feed.

In mid-July, Travis performed in Los Angeles for the first time since his health scare with MGK. While presenting Travis to the stage on July 13, MGK reportedly said, "There's a person I grew up idolizing that I became friends with and he believed in me. And never more have I wanted to jam to a song that he and I created. LA's own Travis Barker, make some noise for him tonight."
