Travis Barker Says Tour Resuming Following Kourtney Kardashian's Surgery
Travis Barker shared an update on Blink-182’s European tour status after he rushed home to be by wife Kourtney Kardashian’s side as she underwent fetal surgery.

“Travis has had to return home to the States,” a statement shared via Blink-182’s Instagram story read on Friday, September 1. “The Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available.”
