He followed up the next day on Twitter with an angry-face emoji, explaining, “I was playing the drums at rehearsals yesterday and I smashed my finger so hard I dislocated it and tore the ligaments.”

Travis and Blink-182 bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge are set to reunite next month for the Blink-182 tour.
The tour, which kicks off March 11 in Tijuana followed by tour stops across the globe, marks the band’s first reunion in nearly a decade.
It’s a big deal for the band, who mended their friendships following Hoppus’ recent battle with stage 4 lymphoma. He was declared cancer-free in September.
