Travis Barker Cancer Scare

06 October 2006

Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker has injured his arm and may have to postpone the gigs for his new band "+44" as well as being told he may have a tumour in his arm.

After experiencing extreme pain in his arm during the European leg of his promo tour for the band, Barker sought medical attention.

"I'D BEEN PLAYING WITH A BROKEN ARM FOR 3 WEEKS AND OR POSSIBLE TUMOR IN MY ARM. IM AT A LOSS OF WORDS, JUST TAKING EVERYTHING ONE DAY AT A TIME," said Travis in a statement yesterday.

"I'VE BEEN TOLD TO EAT MEAT AND CHANGE MY DIET(IVE BEEN VEGETARIAN FOR 16 YEARS) CAUSE ITS MAKING MY BONES WEAK. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BREAK A BONE FROM PLAYING MY DRUMS TOO HARD/ TOO LONG..."

But Barker also told fans not to count him out yet, cas he is trying to learn how to play the songs for the +44 tour with one arm!
