Blink-182 was scheduled to begin a European tour on Friday. The “All the Small Things” rockers were set to take to the stage in Glasgow, Scotland on Friday and Saturday, before traveling to Belfast and Dublin for further stops on the trek. 

Unfortunately the tour was postponed before it could even begin as drummer Travis Barker shared a cryptic social media post visiting a prayer room, with the band later saying he had to rush home for an “urgent family matter.” 

The band shared the news on their social media accounts Friday morning. “Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States. 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.”

Hours before the announcement, Barker shared a series of stills on his Instagram Story of him visiting a prayer room. After posting a picture outside the room, Barker then shared two photos inside the space, one of a stained-glass window and another of a blue banner reading, “Together We Pray.”

Barker is expecting a baby boy with his wife Kourtney Kardashian. The couple announced the pregnancy news during the band’s Los Angeles stop.
