The Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith joined Babymetal on stage in London last night (December 18).

Sneaking onto the drum kit after Babymetal had finished their performance of break-out single ‘Gimme Chocolate!!!’, Smith – who had dressed up and had his face painted in the style of Babymetal’s musical faction, the Kami Band – replaced drummer Hideki Aoyama behind the kit to perform a drum solo.

The rest of Babymetal then joined Smith to close their support slot with a Judas Priest medley (‘Painkiller’ and ‘Breaking The Law’). Smith then presented lead vocalist Su-Metal with a birthday cake for her 20th birthday, before leading The O2 crowd in a rendition of the ‘Happy Birthday’ song.

Meanwhile, Smith’s wife Nancy Mack was caught up in a bizarre fracas last week with Happy Days actor Scott Baio – apparently because he was a Trump supporter. Read more about the story here.
