A week after his second hand injury, Travis Barker updated his fans on his medical situation on his Instagram account. The drummer shared a video with a short caption about his condition.
Barker injured his same hand twice while Blink-182 was preparing for their reunion tour, and the band’s fans were devastated by the news. The tour was not canceled following the first injury, but the fans are worried that the drummer won’t be able to play because of the second one.
While the fate of the tour is still not definite, Travis shared a video of his doctor inspecting his injured finger on his Instagram account with a short caption indicating that surgery is necessary. The post also contained close images of his injury and a picture of him with his hand in a cast.
Barker’s short caption read:
“Surgery tomorrow 🤞”
Under the post, his fans wished him good health, but some also expressed disappointment about the possibility of a cancellation. One fan mentioned that he was ready to see him and the band on stage but added that he would understand if the show in Brazil was canceled.
The fan’s comment on the news was as follows:
“Travis, I’ve been waiting to see a Blink 182 concert in Brazil since 1999. I did everything to buy a Lollapalooza ticket, I’m going to travel for 6 hours just to see you. If you cancel, I’ll be sad, but I’ll understand that it’s not the time yet. But please, come to Brazil any day. The day you discover how much you are loved in Brazil will come every year. I only ask for a chance for us to show this.”
It’s still unclear whether Blink-182 will postpone or cancel the upcoming tour due to Travis Barker’s injury, but the fans hope he will get well soon and the shows will take place as planned. The band has yet to update the audience.
