Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker shared what his injured ring finger looks like ahead of the band's scheduled tour.
Barker showed his fans the degree of his injury by sharing images and a video of his injured finger on his social media account. The 47-year-old drummer took to Instagram Monday and unveiled his painful-looking injury to the public.
In a clip, a medical worker can be seen trying to get his finger back to its place as they ask him whether he feels pain. The rocker responds and confirms that it is indeed painful.
The images on the photoset then feature up-close pictures of his finger. One of which includes a photo of him wearing a brace.
He then revealed in the caption that he would undergo surgery the next day.
His wife, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, showed full support by leaving a comment on the post.
The latest injury marked the second following the first injury on Feb. 8. At that time, Barker said he was playing the drums during the rehearsals when he smashed his finger so hard that he dislocated it and tore the ligaments.
Weeks later, he posted a photo of it confirming that it was bruised and injured again.
Travis Barker Prepares Ahead of Blink-182 Shows
Barker's move to undergo surgery came less than two weeks before Blink-182's scheduled world tour.
The band's members - Barker, Mark Hoppus, and Tom DeLonge - will mark their first concert together since 2015.
The drummer might need to recuperate as fast as possible as Blink-182's world tour will kick off on March 11 at the Imperial GNP festival in Tijuana, Mexico. The band will continue its Latin American leg until April.
From May to July, the band will visit North American venues before proceeding with the European shows from September through October.
Blink-182 will also perform in Australia and New Zealand until February 2024.
Before Barker's finger injury, he suffered a worrying health condition when he was hospitalized following a complication from an endoscopy he underwent earlier.
"During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area usually handed by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube," he said, as quoted by Rolling Stone. "This resulted in severe life-threatening pancreatitis. I am so very, very grateful that with the intensive treatment, I am currently much better."
