Blink-182 Drummer Travis Barker Postpones Europe Tour for Urgent Family Matter
Blink-182, the popular American rock band, has been forced to postpone several concerts during their Europe leg of the world tour due to an urgent family matter involving drummer Travis Barker. The band made the announcement through their official Instagram account on Friday, expressing their regrets about having to delay the shows.
According to the statement posted on Instagram, Travis Barker had to rush back to the United States because of a pressing family issue. As a result, the Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows have been postponed. Fans who were eagerly anticipating these performances will have to wait a little longer while the band deals with this unforeseen situation.
The band was scheduled to play in Glasgow on Friday and Saturday, before moving on to Belfast and Dublin on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. The rescheduled dates for these shows will be announced as soon as they are available. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for updates regarding Barker’s return and the revised tour dates.
Before the update about the postponement was released, Barker took to his Instagram story to share a glimpse of a prayer room, complete with a stained-glass window and a banner reading together we pray. While Barker has yet to directly address the nature of the family matter, this contemplative post has left fans wondering about the circumstances behind his sudden departure.
This unfortunate development comes just months after Barker and his wife, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, delighted their fans with the news of their expected baby boy. The announcement was made during the band’s tour in Los Angeles on June 16, with Kardashian present in the crowd, proudly displaying a handmade sign that read: Travis I’m Pregnant. It was a playful nod to the band’s hit music video for All The Small Things, which featured a fan holding a similar sign.
In addition to preparing for fatherhood once again, Travis Barker is already a father to daughter Alabama, son Landon, and stepdaughter Atiana. As fans patiently wait for the rescheduled tour dates, they send their well wishes and support to the Barker family during this challenging time.
While it is disappointing for fans to have their highly anticipated concerts postponed, it is crucial to prioritize Barker’s family and understanding his need to be with them in this urgent situation. The band’s decision to prioritize their drummer’s personal life demonstrates the strong bond they share and their commitment to one another. Fans can rest assured that they will receive updates regarding the rescheduled shows as soon as the information becomes available.
In the meantime, we extend our thoughts and prayers to Travis Barker and his family and hope for a swift resolution to the urgent family matter. The well-being of loved ones should always take precedence, and the band’s decision to postpone their tour reflects this understanding. As the Blink-182 community eagerly awaits Barker’s return, they stand together in support, ready to embrace the band’s electrifying performances once more.
