After blink-182 finally announced their new album ONE MORE TIME... and sharing two singles last week, drummer Travis Barker has tested positive for COVID-19.

Barker shared the news on Instagram over the weekend, posting a photo of a rapid test with the dreaded double lines to his Instagram Story over the weekend.
 
 
The band are scheduled to continue the European leg of their long-awaited worldwide reunion tour starting next Monday (October 2) at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal.

There's no word yet on whether Barker's COVID-19 status will impede the concerts. However, they already had to postpone an early set of shows in the UK and Ireland due to the drummer's return to the US for wife Kourtney Kardashian's successful emergency fetal surgery. And, of course, that was after Barker dislocated his finger — and had to undergo surgery — in rehearsals.
