Blink-182 have postponed shows across the UK and Ireland due to the band’s drummer Travis Barker having to travel home to the US for an “urgent family matter”.

The punk rock band was due to play at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Friday and Saturday before moving to Belfast’s SSE Arena and and Dublin’s 3 Arena next week.
