Blink-182's Travis Barker Spotted Cycling Through Glasgow Ahead of Gigs
The iconic Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker, was spotted enjoying a leisurely bike ride through the streets of Glasgow, Scotland, ahead of the band's highly anticipated gigs at the OVO Hydro.
Dressed casually in a bomber jacket, black trousers, and trainers, Barker cut a relaxed figure as he cycled along Glasgow's Broomielaw, near the River Clyde, sporting a pair of sunglasses. The sighting comes just days after the band's performances at the Reading and Leeds festivals, and ahead of their scheduled shows at the OVO Hydro on 23 and 24 August.
Barker and his bandmates, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, are in Glasgow to make up for previously postponed gigs that were cancelled last September due to a family emergency. The band was forced to reschedule their shows in Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin after Barker had to urgently return to the United States.
The emergency stemmed from his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, requiring emergency fetal surgery to save the life of their unborn child. While it is unknown whether Kardashian has accompanied Barker to Glasgow, fans have eagerly anticipated their return to the UK.
One enthusiastic fan took to social media to share their experience of bumping into Barker on his cycling adventure. "Cornwall to Glasgow for the Blink-182 show at the Hydro tomorrow," they wrote. "Been here all of 10 minutes and look who I bump into out in the city on his bike! Thank you for taking the time to chat and take a photo. See you tomorrow and Friday."
The news of Barker's cycling outing in Glasgow comes just months after Kardashian detailed the "rare" and "terrifying" condition that their son, Rocky, was born with, which led to the emergency operation. Speaking on an episode of "The Kardashians," she described the harrowing experience and expressed her immense gratitude for the successful surgery.
With the band back together and ready to perform for their devoted fans, excitement is building in Glasgow as the city prepares to welcome Blink-182 to the stage.
