Travis Barker is on the road to recovery after fracturing his ring finger, just two weeks before his band Blink-182 is meant to go on tour.
It is the second finger-related injury the rock star, who plays drums for his band, has had in less than a month, having previously "smashed" and "dislocated" a finger during rehearsals earlier in February.
Now the star has given an update concerning the injuries, revealing that he is getting surgery on February 28th to get his hands repaired and ready to get back on the drums before he goes on the road.
