Barker is no stranger to performing through injuries though, as in 2006 when he performed one-handed on “The Late Show” due to a broken wrist.
The upcoming tour will be Blink-182’s first with guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge in almost a decade, and is scheduled to kick off in Mexico next month, though it is unclear whether the tour will be affected by Barker’s injury.
Canadian dates on the tour are scheduled for May and June.
The reunion tour, featuring the classic Blink-182 lineup of Barker, DeLonge and Mark Hoppus was announced back in October.
