Announcing the news on X, formally known as Twitter, the band said: "Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States. The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available."

The 44-year-old POOSH founder is currently pregnant with her fourth child, the first with her husband. Kourtney announced her pregnancy back in June by holding up a 'Travis, I'm Pregnant' sign during a Blink-182 concert, referencing a scene from the band's All The Small Things video. After spotting his wife's sign, Travis jumped off the stage and ran towards her to give her a big kiss.

Kourtney is believed to be trying to set boundaries with her famous family, with a source claiming she has banned them from the delivery room. They said she only wants her rockstar husband by her side.

The source said: "[Kourtney's] family have always been welcome when she gave birth, but now she's saying she only wants Travis there, which of course has Kris pretty annoyed." They also claimed she's planning to film the birth, but wants control over the footage.

Speaking to Heat Magazine, they added: "Kourtney wants total control when it comes to the footage, so she and Travis want to hire their own team. Her mum has offered to handle it for her, and has promised she and Travis would have the final cut, but Kourtney is saying they want to to do their own thing."

It wouldn't be the first time Kourtney has been filmed giving birth. The reality star invited the cameras in 13 years ago when she delivered her son.
