Blink-182 announced their upcoming shows in Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin have been postponed due to "an urgent family matter."

The band shared in a statement via social media, "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."

So far, the shows impacted include:

-9/01 - Glasgow @ Ovo Hydro
-9/02 - Glasgow @ Ovo Hydro
-9/03 - Belfast @ SSE Arena
-9/04 - Dublin @ 3Arena

E! News reported that drummer Travis Barker recently shared several photos to his Instagram Story of a prayer room. Whether or not the prayer room was located inside of a hospital is yet to be determined.

The nature of Barker's family matter has yet to be determined. Barker and wife, Kourtney Kardashian, are expecting their first child together. Kardashian revealed the news during a Blink-182 show in June. She was in the crowd and held up a sign that read, "Travis: I'm Pregnant." The sign was a nod to the band's popular music video for their hit song "All The Small Things."

28 Albums that Turn 20 in 2023

Some of the albums that turn 20 in 2023 still sound as fresh today as they did when they were first released.

The White Stripes introduced us to a "Seven Nation Army" on Elephant, while blink-182 gave us one of the most infectious hooks ever on their self-titled LP. The music world got its first look at Shinedown, and Jane's Addiction returned with new music after a 13-year absence. Oh...and then Metallica released St. Anger, which continues to be a point of contention within the band's fanbase to this day.
