Blink-182's Travis Barker shares bloody injury after first AO Arena gig in Manchester

Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker has shared just how committed he is to his art - after sustaining a bloodied hand while performing at Manchester's AO Arena. The American musician is known for his powerhouse approach to drumming and has regularly posted pictures of the blisters he endures after performing on stage.

But it appears it was a particularly gory injury here in Manchester that left blood DRIPPING from his fingers. Travis shared on his Instagram stories pictures of the injuries on Sunday night, minutes after Blink-182's live show ended.

In the first, entitled "Manchester" his hand can be seen with blood across his knuckles. He added a "blood dripping" emoji to enhance the gore.

Wearing a Sex Pistols t-shirt, Travis posed for the selfie which appeared to be backstage at the AO Arena. The t-shirt had the slogan "Anarchy in the UK" in tribute to the original punk pioneers, while Travis also added a peace sign emoji to the location of "Manchester, UK."

He followed it with a particularly gruesome close-up of the injury. It was that gross it had the "warning" sign on Instagram asking for consent before you could view it.

So this is also your warning to look away now if you don't want to see the grueome injury.

The image showed his tattooed hand and painful holes on his knuckles, seemingly where blisters had worn away some medical strapping. He then followed it up with a picture of his black jeans showing a huge bloody stain on them to show where the blood had dripped down on to him.

The rockers are due to perform again tonight for the second of their two huge, sold out Manchester AO Arena shows.
