Travis Barker postponed his band’s European concert tour because of a family emergency. While he flew home to be with his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, fans left without a show to attend are furious. Many have taken to social media to blast Barker for postponing the concert, with little care about his family.

Here is what fans are saying and why Barker had to fly back home.

Blink-182 fans mad at Travis Barker

Travis Barker is the drummer for Blink-182, but he is also the most recognizable member of the group. This is largely thanks to his role as a superstar drummer and the husband of Kourtney Kardashian. With that in mind, Travis is also someone who puts his family first. That resulted in Blink-182 postponing their concert tour in Europe when he had to return home for a family emergency.

With that in mind, a lot of fans voiced their concerns for Travis’ family and sent their well wishes and prayers. However, there were just as many fans who seemed furious at Travis for postponing the tour. It seems that the fans felt that Travis should have put them first above his concern for his wife back home.

There was a reason that many fans reacted with anger to the postponement. In a Reddit thread in the Blink-182 subreddit, fans kept updated on the situation. However, there were many people in the comments who reacted in anger to the postponement because they spent money on non-refundable airfare and hotels and now are out all that money for nothing.

“The fact that she’s so close to giving birth and they do not have a backup remedy for Travis having to depart if/when she does give birth is poor planning and management on Blink’s part,” one fan wrote. They mentioned that people who spent a lot of money to see the concert are now out of all that money. While they said they have a “level of understanding,” they also said the poor planning was not acceptable.

Things got worse when Kourtney Kardashian left the hospital with Travis Barker, still pregnant. While there were plenty of fans who showed their concern and thanks that she was in good health after all, this made the people in Europe who lost out on all their money thanks to the postponement even angrier.

One Redditor said that people need to leave them alone because it’s not their business. That brought in angry fans. One said it was their business because they had tickets, flights, and lodging for the Copenhagen show, and they would lose their money now. Another said they had Dublin tickets and also lost out on their flight money. While there were just as many defending the band, there were equal amounts of fans blasting the postponement.
