Blink-182 shows in Cleveland and St. Louis in jeopardy

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 9/1/09 @ 10:40 AM - altpress.com

Rumors are flying that Blink-182 will not be playing their scheduled shows tonight in Cleveland and tomorrow in St. Louis. The band didn't perform last night in Saratoga, New York, due to the death of their friend DJ AM Goldstein. Fans had the choice to either watch the remaining bands--Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Chester French--or accept refunds at the door. If Blink do not go on, it's unclear if a similar policy will be implemented or if the concert will be canceled outright. As soon as we hear official word, we'll pass the news along to you.
