Travis Barker gave his social media followers an update after undergoing surgery on his ring finger Friday.
The 47-year-old music artist reappeared on Instagram after he’d previously checked in with fans before going under the knife.
The lifelong musician called the procedure a ‘success’ as he thanked fans in a heartfelt caption. He also shared an image of his finger cut open.
The father-of-three wrote, ‘Thank you for all the love and prayers and understanding this week as I went into surgery. So grateful for Dr. Shin and that my surgery was a success so that I can keep doing what I love and see you guys on tour soon.’
His wife Kourtney Kardashian posted one of the same hospital pictures that Travis did and wrote above it: ‘thank you God, amen.’

Barker also said in the message that the choice to operate on his digit ‘was a hard decision to make but ultimately I couldn’t continue to play the drums without it.
‘It was inevitable that my finger would have dislocated again without fixing the torn ligament surgically,’ he explained.
Before his surgery he posted and deleted a video clip holding hands and praying with his 17-year-old daughter Alabama Barker and wife Kourtney Kardashian, 43.
He had shared another gory finger injury video as well, showing his joints being pulled back into place.
The Blink-182 drummer revealed on Monday that he would be going under the knife after damaging his ring finger twice last month.
It happened as he was rehearsing with his band for the upcoming ‘All The Small Things’ reunion tour.
He shared the health update with his 7.9million followers on Instagram and captioned it: ‘Surgery tomorrow,’ with a praying hands emoji.
In the post, Travis showed a video of him getting his finger pulled and pushed in different directions to try and get it back to normal.

It appeared that he had a doctor arrive at his home who was discussing the pain of his finger.
Another snap showed Travis in an all-black ensemble holding his taped-up hand to his face, protecting it from further damage.
He also pictured his finger up close, with his tattooed hand held out to display the break at the top of his knuckle.
His wife Kourtney replied to the post with a series of prayer hands and heart emojis.
He previously tweeted on February 8: ‘I was playing the drums at rehearsals yesterday and I smashed my finger so hard I dislocated it and tore the ligaments.’
No gigs have been postponed or cancelled following the injury, with fans hoping the surgery won’t impact Blink-182’s first tour with Tom DeLonge in the lineup – alongside Travis and their bandmate Mark Hoppus – since 2014.
Late last year, Tom revealed the group has been busy working on ‘the best album’ they’ve made to date.
He teased on Instagram: ‘I’m personally tripping and so proud of what we have created TOGETHER. As one unified force of fun, eternal youth, and most of all- close friends.’
The group are set for their biggest tour to date, with concerts in the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand and their first-ever shows in Latin America.

The mammoth tour will begin in March and will conclude in February 2024.
The three original Blink-182 members met up before Mark was undergoing treatment for cancer in 2021 and he revealed that the three were in a good place.
He previously said of the band’s relationship: ‘It’s actually better than it used to be.
‘There was no agenda (when they met up). There were no lingering grudges. It felt very back to what it should be: three friends sitting in a room.’
