Blink-182 is being forced to halt their hit Las Vegas residency because drummer Travis Barker is not medically cleared to perform.

The rock band just put out a statement: "Friends, Travis Barker is suffering from blood clots in both arms and unfortunately cannot perform until cleared to do so by his medical team," adding "The situation is currently being closely monitored."

Barker is one of the pillars of the band, so it's no surprise they are rescheduling their "Kings of the Weekend" residency that was supposed to kick off in two days. They are also offering refunds for those that cannot attend a rescheduled date when they are announced.

The drumming legend is crushed, and says, "Drumming is my life and it kills me that I can't perform for you this guys weekend. I hope to be back as soon as I can."

How long Barker will be out due to the blood clots is unclear.
