Travis Barker recently shared photos of a prayer room after it was revealed that Blink-182 has to cancel a bunch of their European tour dates due to an "urgent family matter."

On Friday morning, the drummer shared a series of pictures of a "prayer room" on his Instagram Stories. Prior to this, his band announced that they were putting a leg of their European tour dates on hold, saying Barker had to rush home to deal with a pressing family issue.

The photos of the room showed a beige door with a sign that read "All welcome," stained glass with an array of religious symbols on it, as well as a flag hung on the wall that read "together we pray."

Barker did not include any explanations for any of the snaps, though a statement released by the band stated that he had to "return back home to the States."

It was not revealed where the photo was taken, but prayer rooms are often found in public places such as hospitals or airports to allow people of all faiths a private area of contemplation or prayer.

"The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed," the official account added. "More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available."

The news comes just a few months after it was announced that Barker's partner, Kourtney Kardashian, was pregnant with the pair's first child.

The stars announced the news of the Poosh founder's pregnancy during a Los Angeles show back in June when the Kardashian sister held up a sign reading "Travis I’m Pregnant", with the moment immediately going viral.

A source revealed to PEOPLE that the 44-year-old was "beyond excited" about the upcoming chapter.

"She had happy tears when she told her family. They have all known for a while," they told the outlet. "Everyone is so happy for her. Kourtney can't wait to be a mom again. Her older kids are excited about the baby too."

Then just a month after, it was announced that the happy couple will be having a baby boy after a gender reveal party.

"Guests were... invited to explore the Tour Memories corner where they could leave a note for future Baby Barker and take photos on disposable cameras for Kourt and Travis to use later in their baby scrapbook," a post about the party read on Instagram.

"While they were both excited for whatever God’s plan was for their baby, the blue pop bursting from the streamer cannons was electric," a separate post via Poosh also added. "You couldn’t really see them until they were floating in the air, making the anticipation of the big secret that much more emotional and exciting."

Let's hope everything gets back on track for Barker and his family. Our thoughts are with them during this time.
