The band shared the unfortunate news with their fans via social media, specifically on X (formerly Twitter), just hours before they were scheduled to perform at Glasgow’s Ovo Hydro in Scotland. In their tweet, Blink-182 expressed their regret over the situation and assured fans that more details regarding Travis Barker’s return to Europe and the rescheduled concert dates would be provided as soon as they were available.
While Travis Barker himself has not released an official statement regarding the family matter, he did offer some insight into his current state of mind through his Instagram stories. Among the images shared were snapshots of a “Prayer Room,” a view of a chapel, and a sign that read “Together We Pray.”
Blink-182’s European tour has garnered significant anticipation from fans, and this temporary setback is undoubtedly disappointing. However, the band’s commitment to keeping fans informed and rescheduling the affected dates demonstrates their dedication to delivering an unforgettable experience once Travis Barker is able to rejoin the tour.
As fans await further updates, the band’s supportive community continues to extend well wishes and understanding to Travis Barker and his family during this challenging time. Blink-182 remains hopeful about the future of their European tour and looks forward to reuniting with their devoted fans when the time is right.
