Blink-182 have cancelled three scheduled shows in Mexico this week as bassist Mark Hoppus battles a throat infection and severe bronchitis.
The pop punk icons had previously cancelled the April 3 show at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. And on Friday they cancelled the two remaining dates at the same venue, on April 5 and 6.
In a statement, Hoppus says: "We don’t take cancelling lightly. We know people booked flights, hotels, made plans, got babysitters. We had multiple lengthy discussions all morning within the band, with promoters, managers. We tried moving the date, tried every possible solution, but this is the reality. We appreciate your understanding and support.
"For me and my illness, I have seen a doctor here and talked to my doctor back home. I am on multiple medications and have been in bed the past three days except to go to the show, and yesterday I was hoping it was just allergies.
"Saw docs, was told I had an acute infection in my throat and severe bronchitis. Got on meds immediately with the kind help of the local promoters and have been on treatment."
Fans will be refunded for tickets for the cancelled shows.
The band begin a North American tour in June.
