Blink-182 have been forced to cancel their upcoming fall tour due to the health of their drummer, Travis Barker.
Earlier in the year, the band rescheduled some of their Las Vegas residency dates due to blood clots in both of Barker's arms. His medical team "anticipated that he would be well enough by fall to tour but after recent checkups, they were not able to clear him in time for the scheduled run of dates," the band revealed in a statement on Facebook.
Additionally, their headlining dates at the Riot Festival in Chicago have also been cancelled, but they have confirmed that they will be back to headline it in 2019.
"Unfortunately, the risks associated with drumming are still too great. I am doing everything I need to do so I can get back on the road as soon as possible. I want to thank my fans, family, friends and bandmates for all the love and support," Barker wrote in the statement.
