Blink-182’s long-awaited reunion tour has been delayed because of Travis Barker’s finger injury.
Tom DeLonge shared the announcement via Instagram on Wednesday. Barker said he would be “undergoing surgery” in a separate Instagram post earlier this week.
“Travis needs to go in and have surgery on his finger, and we have to get that well, and we have to get that strong before we can do anything else,” said DeLonge. “This is just so sad. These were the biggest shows we ever played, these are some of the most important places in the world for a band. This was like the pinnacle of our career, was coming down and playing for you guys, so I really want you all to know that we’re devastated.”
The first leg of the reunion tour was set to run from March 11th through April 2nd with a series of shows in Mexico and South America. Those shows have now been postponed, the band has announced.
Rescheduled dates have not yet been announced.
