Blink-182 shared the unfortunate news on social media and in a message posted to Twitter, the band wrote:
“Friends, Travis Barker is suffering from blood clots in both arms and unfortunately cannot perform until cleared to do so by his medical team. The situation is currently being closely monitored. Due to this situation it is with great regret that blink-182 ‘Kings of the Weekend Las Vegas residency dates this weekend must be rescheduled. New dates will be posted on the bands website shortly. If you are not able to attend the rescheduled dates, refunds will be available at point of purchase.” source
And in a personal statement Travis added, “Drumming is my life and it kills me that I can’t perform for you guys this weekend. I hope to be back as soon as I can.”
Blood clots in both arms and a staff infection wasn’t the news I was hoping for. I’ll be back soon, thanks for all the love & prayers 🙏🏻
