Travis Barker shares pic of dislocated finger from blink-182 rehearsals

Travis Barker has shared details of a rather painful-sounding injury to his hand.

With just over a month to go until blink-182’s highly-anticipated reunion tour with Tom DeLonge kicks off in Mexico, the drummer took to social media this week to post a photo of his ring finger, which had been dislocated during rehearsals.

Detailing the injury on Twitter on Wednesday, February 8, Travis wrote that: “I was playing the drums at rehearsals yesterday and I smashed my finger so hard I dislocated it and tore the ligaments.” Ouch.

Of course, Travis is talented enough that he once played the drums using only one arm during a David Letterman performance, after apparently injuring himself during a video shoot. So hopefully his current ailment won’t impact the pop-punk legends’ upcoming shows. Still, we’ll keep you posted – and we’re wishing you all the best, Travis!

See what else has been going on during blink rehearsals:

blink-182’s first show back with Tom will take place on March 11 in Tijuana. The band have also been working on a new record, which the frontman calls “the best album we’ve ever made”.
