zzzz Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I knew it was weird that we hadn't seen Trav drumming... had a feeling this would be coming today or tomorrow. Sucks. No doubt if you are traveling to see Blink, pay for flight/hotel insurance in case they cancel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks but can't say i didn't expect this. They probably shouldn't of booked the tour in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Would be interesting to see what % of fans would've been OK with a fill-in drummer... I'd rather see Mark/Matt and a rando as opposed to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ways around it. The thing that always bothers me when they cancel, is Mark usually doesn't even acknowledge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the festivals would still have to get new headliners. Can't close a Saturday show with 2 dudes on stage playing acoustic music. Could be a fun day set though if they really wanted to pay the fans back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 It seems pretty late to be cancelling a show for Saturday like did Travis not have another checkup until today? I'm sure they've known for about a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaonah Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yeah I was gonna go to Columbus show. I live in Pittsburgh area. Very happy I didn't book a hotel or anything yet. Kind of expected this though. Also had tickets for blinkin park. Was psyched to see blink and MGK at one show. Oh well guess that's life.

zzzz Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 And right on queue, Mark can tweet about some dumb books, but can't even RT the official statement from Blink or even a "Sorry folks" post. Could not imagine letting down that many people, ruining people's plans/vacation and not even acknowledging it... Travis will say something, but Mark/Tom/Matt never do.

Mau5 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Lmao, yeah they should <<definitely>> do the tour without what is essentially the one guy holding this "band" together! Could you imagine them trying to sell blink as blink, with just Mark Hoppus. It wouldn't surprise me if they had tried, but good god that would be a low-point in the "we have sold out to live comfortably" era of blink for sure.
