Blink-182 have been forced to cancel their upcoming dates after drummer Travis Barker was diagnosed with blood clots in his arms.

Barker’s doctor discovered the clots in June but the drummer has had ongoing medical issues ever since.

The band posted the following statement in which Barker said, “The past few months have just sucked as I have been sidelined just waiting for my doctors to clear me so I could get back on the road and perform with my band. Unfortunately, the risks associated with drumming are still too great. I am doing everything I need to do so I can get back on the road as soon as possible. I want to thank my fans, family, friends, and bandmates for all the love and support.”

All future dates are off but the Las Vegas residency may still go ahead as planned.

Moorehead, Bluestem Amphitheatre (September 12)
Chicago, Riot Fest (14)
Columbus, Express Live (15)
Grand Rapids, 20 Monroe Live (17)
Windsor, The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor (18)
Uncasville, Mohegan Sun Arena (20)
Atlantic City, Hard Rock (21)
Cedar Rapids, US Cellular Center (24)
Council Bluffs, Harrah’s Council Bluffs at Stir Cove (25)
