Travis Barker is the latest celebrity to contract COVID-19.
On Thursday, August 18, the Blink-182 drummer took to social media to share the unfortunate news with his fans. “Covid sucks. I’d rather be playing drums,” Barker wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of himself playing with his drumsticks.
While he didn’t share more details about his diagnosis, the news comes just one week after Machine Gun Kelly confirmed that he would be joining him on tour despite health experts seemingly advising against it. “Against his doctor’s orders AND with a broken thumb, I convinced @travisbarker to come join us for the last couple days,” the artist, 32, said in a August 9 Instagram Story with Barker.
