He uploaded the image on Friday alongside the emojis “🤒😵🥴.”
Blink-182’s next performance is listed for Oct. 2 at the Altice Arena in Portugal. The date will support the band’s upcoming album, set to be released on Oct. 20. A new single, One More Time, debuted on Thursday.
Barker recently spoke about reuniting with bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge in a video shared to the band’s YouTube account.
“Why does it take these catastrophes, like me being in a plane crash or me being sick, for our band to get back together?” he wondered.
“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,” Barker said.
