Travis Barker has a lot to lose after he revealed that he tested COVID positive in a recent Instagram update.

Not only will the drummer have to sit out touring with Blink-182 but he might also have to quarantine himself from his wife Kourtney Kardashian.

According to reports, the news of Barker sharing his COVID positive test comes just days before another scheduled Blink-182 concert at Altice Arena in Portugal.

As of this writing, no representatives have disclosed what is the future of the drummer with Blink-182's busy schedule, between touring and gearing up to release a new album.

On top of that, Barker just came back after a leave of touring to stay by the reality star's side when she suddenly had to undergo an "urgent fetal surgery" two weeks ago.

This tour is highly anticipated among fans, especially since the band had a pretty rocky and tumultuous relationship with each other.

"Why does it take these catastrophes, like me being in a plane crash or me being sick, for our band to get back together?" Barker said during his interview with Zane Lowe of Apple Music One.

"I always knew that the brotherhood wouldn't ever deteriorate or wouldn't be there. I really feel like Blink is us three, and as soon as we accept that and we don't settle for anything less than that, I just think that's the future."

Travis Barker, Kourtney Kardashian Expects Baby Soon

Barker and the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star have been attempting to have a baby for quite some time now, so when they did finally conceive, it was crucial for them.

Despite wanting to by by her side, the drummer has prior commitments and has to honor them-like the current tour, which is why he is not by Kardashian's side, however, reports say that the couple are constantly in communication and she is getting all the support she needs.

"Travis and Kourtney are very united, their kids are getting along, and everyone is excited for the baby to arrive," a source said.

Now that there are more challenges regarding Barker and his schedule, fans are worried. There is no certainty about what he is planning in regards to the tour and his family life or how long it will take before he recovers from the illness.
