Blink-182 have been forced to cancel a number of their upcoming shows in Ireland, and the UK, due to an “urgent family matter”.
The band were set to kick off these run of shows in Glasgow’s OVO Hydro today (September 1), before playing in Dublin in Belfast next week.
However, these shows have been called off, with drummer Travis Barker forced to return home.
These shows which were originally announced back in October last year, were to see original Blink-182 bandmembers reunite for the first time since Tom DeLonge’s return to the band.
