blink-182 have postponed several shows as drummer Travis Barker returns to the US to deal with an "urgent family matter."

UPDATE (9/6 5:15 p.m. ET): Barker's wife Kourtney Kardashian, who is pregnant, revealed on Instagram that she had been in the hospital for fetal surgery, and that doctors were able to save the baby's life.

Barker posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the tour resumes on Friday (September 8) in Antwerp, Belgium. 

 

blink-182's tour is set to resume on September 8 in Antwerp, Belgium.

The fact that Barker is travelling between Europe and the US on short notice is notable given that Barker refused to fly for many years after surviving a plane crash in 2008. He took his first flight since the accident in 2021 and credited wife Kourtney Kardashian with helping him get over his fear of planes.
