While the band did not provide details about the nature of the family matter, the timing is notable. Barker's wife, Kourtney Kardashian, recently announced her pregnancy. The couple, who wed in May 2022, revealed they are expecting their first child together, a baby boy, in June.

Kourtney Kardashian is already a mother to three children: Mason, 13; Penelope, 11; and Reign, 8, with her ex-partner Scott Disick. Travis Barker has two children, Landon, 19, and Alabama, 17, from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler.

Throughout the summer, Barker and Kardashian have shared updates on her pregnancy journey via Instagram, including photos of her baby bump. While initially considering in vitro fertilization, the couple later decided to conceive naturally, as revealed in a May episode of their family's reality show.

The postponed shows have left fans waiting for updates on rescheduled dates, as Blink-182 and Travis Barker navigate this unexpected family matter.
