Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker recently postponed his upcoming concerts due to an "urgent family matter", leaving fans speculating about what could be wrong.

However, his ex-wife Shanna Moakler has now confirmed the matter is not related to their children together, but says it sounds like a big deal. On Friday Travis announced he needed to postpone his band's tour as he had to rush home to address a pressing family matter. Announcing the news on Twitter, the band wrote: "Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States. The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available."

Since then Travis' ex wife Shanna has told TMZ that the' family matter dos not involve their 17-year-old daughter Alabama Luella Barker or their son 19-year-old Landon Asher Barker. She revealed both children are safe and healthy and reportedly shared that many people have reached out to her within the past day concerned for her children's wellbeing.

Shanna reportedly said that what Travis is currently dealing with that made him reschedule his tour in Europe and urgently return to the US must be serious and she is praying that everything is okay with her ex-husband, his family, and Kourtney Kardashian's pregnancy.

As Travis' wife Kourtney is expected to have her fourth baby and first child with the musician very soon, with predictions she will next month, many fans shared their concerns for the well-being of her baby. Kourtney announced her pregnancy in a memorable way in June. During a Blink-182 concert, she held up a sign that read: "Travis, I'm Pregnant," referencing a scene from the band's All The Small Things music video. After seeing his wife's sign, Travis jumped off the stage and ran to give her a kiss.

Neither Travis nor Blink-182 have yet offered any more of an explantation, but the band is hoping to be able to reschedule their missed concerts. Before the cancellation, Blink-182 was set to finish the European leg of their tour in mid-October before performing at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas. The band was then scheduled to complete their world tour in Australia, South America, and Mexico.
