M!ke Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Man, if only South America gets cancelled because Travis broke a finger, I can't help but feel sorry for the fans down there. There have been calls for blink to come to Brazil for decades at this point, and for them to finally announce a leg of a tour that will be there and more in South America, for it to all get cancelled because of a single broken finger would just be the absolute worst. Having said that, I do think they would feel how much that sucks and if they don't reschedule that part of the tour, at the very least I have to imagine they'd plan for the next one to go out there instead. 1 Quote

Yea that really sucks. We will see what happens but doesn’t look promising. Quote
Chewy030 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Welp Travis just posted he’s having surgery tomorrow. Now I’m just hoping he’s ready for May when the US tour kicks off. Quote
Elisa Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Damn. If he needs a surgery then there's no way he will be able to play in 10 days. 2 Quote
Ghost Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Tricky situation. Anyway, they have to be CLEAR when they are ready to release any statement, if any cancellation happens. Quote
Elisa Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 If your finger is dislocated and it keeps getting dislocated, you have to rest it for the amount of time needed for it to heal in a splint (many weeks, maybe 6 or 7) or you need surgery. I think after surgery it's going to heal faster, but the communication with their fans is as bad as it's always been. Instead of pretending that everything was fine, they could have just said something like "listen, there's a chance Travis is going to need a surgery and we'll have to see how things go from there"... but nope. 2 Quote

They won’t do this because they’d have to sort refunds, i imagine they’re “rescheduling” for like, 2 years in the future and the time delay is from sorting it out. Quote
JarJarBlinks Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Tour rescheduled to 2024, album 2025. They have so many riffs and soundscapes from Tom left to explore! 1 Quote
kibbles Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Announcement moved to Wednesday at lunch time now Though clearly Travis won’t heal in 10 days anyway Quote

Yeah I know, it takes time to reschedule a tour in South America, but I just wish they were a little more upfront with their S.A. fans instead of letting them freak out for a whole week. The distances are huge over there and travel is not cheap, so most of them are going to lose a ton of money on hotels and flights in March, for a show they won't even attend. 1 Quote
boxelder Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 shocking they haven’t made some sort of announcement by now. disappointing for sure for our friends in SA, but you know they’ll be back, if not in 2024 then 25. just a bummer it had to happen now 1 Quote
Champ182 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Maybe I'm being totally naive but there is still a chance that they haven't cancelled the shows yet because... ya know... they're not cancelling the shows? Quote
kibbles Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Apparently was requested by the band themselves to delay to tomorrow ?♂️ 1 Quote
Chewy030 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Pry waiting to see how his surgery plays out. Quote

Patient #48273 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 This has been handled so poorly by the band. 1 Quote

Ghent Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Those poor fuckers. Did Travis fake or exaggerate an injury so he wouldn't have to get on a bunch of flights? I've got my tin foil out ready to speculate Quote
