@car.addition.68: Travis Barker Reveals Hand Numbness Led to Surgery—and Why He Wanted to Act Early Travis Barker has explained the hospital photos he shared with Kourtney Kardashian: he underwent surgery after weeks of numbness in his arm, hand, and fingers. The Blink-182 drummer posted the update on October 7, saying the symptoms began after a show the previous month. “I did a nerve test Monday after my show and turns out I needed a cubital tunnel release to fix the nerve,” he wrote. For Barker, the decision was about protecting his ability to keep drumming. “I wanted to get ahead of it and get it over with so that I can keep playing the way I play for a long long time,” he explained. He added that he expected to be doing well in a few weeks. His wife and daughter, Alabama, accompanied him at the hospital. Earlier photographs showed Kardashian kissing him and Alabama sitting beside his bed. Barker also found room for a joke about Kardashian’s expression in their latest selfie. “Not sure why my wife looks so happy about this,” he quipped. This wasn’t his first operation affecting his drumming. In 2023, a dislocated finger and torn ligaments required surgery and led Blink-182 to postpone tour dates. At the time, he said he couldn’t continue playing without having the ligament repaired. Now, his latest update gives a reason for the hospital visit—and a clear goal for recovery: returning to the drums and continuing for years to come.
