Amidst Blink-182’s eagerly anticipated comeback tour, a sudden and mysterious family emergency involving drummer Travis Barker has led to the postponement of the band’s UK tour dates. While fans and the public were left in the dark regarding the nature of the emergency, Shanna Moakler, Barker’s former wife, has now provided some insights and reassurance.
The iconic rock band Blink-182 made an official announcement on Friday, revealing that their UK tour dates would be postponed due to an “urgent family matter” involving Travis Barker. Barker, who is expecting his first child with reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian, had to rush back to the United States in response to this unforeseen situation.
Moakler, who shares two teenage children, Landon (19) and Alabama (17), with Barker, addressed the ongoing situation in an interview with TMZ. She affirmed that their children are “safe and sound,” alleviating concerns about their well-being.
Amidst the flurry of attention surrounding the emergency, Moakler stated, “A lot of people are reaching out to me. I don’t know what’s going on, I just know that our kids are safe and sound.” She expressed her concern for Barker’s immediate family, the unborn baby, and Kourtney Kardashian, extending her prayers and well-wishes to them.
As speculation ran wild, with some suggesting that Kourtney Kardashian might have gone into labor, Travis Barker took to his Instagram Story to seek solace in prayer, adding further intrigue to the situation.
Blink-182’s UK tour was initially scheduled to kick off in Glasgow on September 1, but in light of Travis Barker’s family emergency, the tour has been rescheduled to begin after the Dublin show on September 5. The abrupt postponement has left fans and the public eagerly awaiting further details about the nature of the emergency that necessitated Travis Barker’s immediate return to the United States
