Grant Trimboli Blink-182 stated yesterday that they had to cancel their appearance at this year’s Bamboozle Festival and now it is apparent all of the touring dates in North America are cancelled as well.
The reason being that Travis Barker requires an urgent tonsillectomy and the recovery time will cut into touring. All of the tour dates for Blink will be refunded. Check out the official message by simply looking below.
“The members of blink-182 have announced today the cancelation of all their May 2012 tour dates due to a medical emergency.

The band apologizes for any inconvenience as a result of these cancelations and thanks their fans for their ongoing support.

I wish Travis a speedy recovery. Adult tonsillectomy can be rough. I
had one 3 years ago and it took quite a while to heal up. I started a
