The Blink-182 drummer shocked his fans and followers after he posted a photo of his hand on Sunday after playing a gig with the band in Manchester, England.
In the Instagram Story, which has a "sensitive content" warning, meaning fans must first agree to view the photo, Barker showed a close-up of his hand. His fingers were covered in blood and scabs, with a huge gash across his knuckles.

In addition to the graphic bloodied hand photo, Barker also shared a picture of his leg, showing blood all over his black sweatpants.
Barker did not disclose what caused the injury, but it comes as the Blink-182 drummer is awaiting for the arrival of his baby boy, whom he is expecting with his pregnant wife Kourtney Kardashian.
"I love experiencing life through their eyes and doing with them all the things I did as a child," Kardashian recently told Vanity Fair Italia of her growing family. "I love creating traditions and memories and making everyday things feel special and magical. Being able to do that now with Travis is a dream come true."
