The band have yet to comment whether they will continue the rest of the June residency dates without Barker.

Speaking of cancelling tonight and tomorrow night’s shows (June 15 and 16), the band said: “Friends, Travis Barker is suffering from blood clots in both arms and unfortunately cannot perform until cleared to do so by his medical team.

“The situation is currently being closely monitored. Due to this situation it is with great regret that the blink-182 ‘Kings of the Weekend’ Las Vegas residency dates this weekend must be rescheduled.”
