It’s unclear what the family emergency is regarding and how serious the emergency is, but many fans are starting to worry about his wife, Kourtney Kardashian – who revealed her pregnancy at a Blink-182 concert in June and is currently expected to give birth to their first child (a son) in October-December.

The post by Blink-182 came roughly five hours after Travis Barker took to his Instagram Story to share three photos of a prayer room at the Glasgow International Airport in Scotland – about 9 miles from the OVO Hydro venue, where the band was scheduled to perform on Friday (Sept. 1) and Saturday (Sept. 2).
The first photo was of the front door of the prayer room, while the second photo was of a massive stained glass display inside the room – a third photo showed a flag that read ‘Together We Pray’ hanging on one of the walls of the prayer room. We don’t know what we’re praying for, but we hope everything is okay!
