Travis Barker posted a graphic image of his injured hand following an accident at Blink-182's concert in Manchester, England on Sunday.

The image, shared on his Instagram Story with a "sensitive content" warning, revealed his hand covered in bandages held together by blood-soaked medical tape.

Although the specific cause of the injury remains uncertain, Barker's knuckles appeared scraped and had open wounds. The blood had already dried by the time he finished his performance, leaving a noticeable stain on his black pants.

Interestingly, Travis didn't allow his injury to stop him and he stepped again on stage on Monday, October 16, the very next day he posted the image of his hurt hand.

This recent incident adds to a series of health problems and injuries that Barker has faced in recent months.

In February, he confessed to a severe finger injury, involving dislocation and torn ligaments, accompanied by a disturbing photo of his misshapen ring finger on social media.

Later that same month, Barker underwent surgery and shared before-and-after pictures of his recovery process.

Travis Barker's ex Shanna Moakler teary-eyed over son Landon's performance 

Barker’s son Landon celebrated his 20th birthday on October 9 by performing at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Though Barker couldn’t make it to cheer his son, Landon's proud mother Shanna Moakler occupied the front seat.

“To see him on stage … I was crying,” she said of Landon.

“To see him doing what he was doing was so [special] after seeing him on stage with Travis his whole life, just rocking out. He’s such a talented drummer as well, but to see him as a frontman is so cool. I’m like, ‘super proud mommy moment,’ and I haven’t stopped crying,” reports PageSix.
