Travis Barker shared a gruesome photo of his mangled hand after injuring himself during Blink-182’s concert in Manchester, England, on Sunday.
In the snap posted to his Instagram Story, which the app labeled as “sensitive content,” Barker showed an up-close look at his hand bandaged up with numerous pieces of blood-soaked medical tape.
While it’s unclear exactly what happened, the drummer’s knuckles looked completely scraped and had open wounds, though the blood had already dried by the time he got off stage.
The incident also left a massive stain on Barker’s black pants.
However, it appears the rocker, 47, isn’t going to let a little blood slow him down, as he is set to take the stage for the second time in Manchester on Monday night.
This is just the latest of health issues and injuries that Barker has had to deal with in recent months.
In February, the musician admitted that he “smashed [his] finger so hard [he] dislocated it and tore the ligaments.”
Barker shared a gnarly photo of his twisted, misshapen ring finger on social media at the time as well.
The “I Miss You” performer went under the knife later that same month, and once again posted before-and-after photos of his progress.
Despite seemingly making a full recovery, Barker was sidelined once more in September after testing positive for COVID-19 followed by a slew of other ailments.
“last week I had covid, an episode of trigeminal neuralgia, and a root canal. Which means I can pretty much handle anything god throws at me,” he tweeted at the time.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a treatable condition that causes “painful sensations similar to an electric shock on one side of the face,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
Thankfully for Barker, he only has to make it one more week on tour before Blink-182 gets a break until February 2024.
Now that he will have a bit more time on his hands, the soon-to-be father of three may get the chance to catch his son Landon Barker take the stage.
Landon celebrated his 20th birthday on Oct. 9 by performing at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.
While his famous father couldn’t be in attendance, the budding musician’s mother, Shanna Moakler, had a front row seat.
In fact, Moakler, who was married to Travis from 2004 to 2008, told Page Six that watching her son rock the stage brought her to tears.
“To see him on stage … I was crying,” she said of Landon.
“To see him doing what he was doing was so [special] after seeing him on stage with Travis his whole life, just rocking out. He’s such a talented drummer as well, but to see him as a frontman is so cool. I’m like, ‘super proud mommy moment,’ and I haven’t stopped crying.”
While Landon may have inherited his dad’s drumming abilities, let’s hope he isn’t as injury-prone.
