Travis Barker wasn’t about to let Melbourne’s high temperatures ruin his style on Monday as he stepped out to do some sightseeing.
The blink-182 drummer, 48, was dressed from head to toe in heavy black clothing despite the sweltering heat.
As the city topped out at 36 degrees that day, Travis wore a black hooded sweater, the pointed hood over his head, and long black denim overalls.
He completed his look with black framed sunglasses and carried a plastic water bottle in one hand.
Devoted vegan Travis left popular vegetarian restaurant Vegie Bar, based in Fitzroy, before heading to an MMA fighting shop in the CBD.

The outing comes after his bandmates Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus criticized an Australian city during their tour Down Under.
The pair addressed their Perth fans during a gig in Adelaide, complaining to the crowd about the ‘disappointing crowd’ in Western Australia.
The moment was shared on TikTok in a 20-second video.
‘We had to go to Perth before we came here!’ said bassist and singer Mark. “Go the fuck, buddy!”
Guitarist and singer Tom shouted: ‘They don’t caress women there! They don’t give a fuck! They have no emotional connections…’

“They only think about the band Creed, that’s all they do.”
blink-182 attacked the ‘unenthusiastic’ Perth crowd on their first night in the city for not knowing the songs.
“Mark spent all night riling up the crowd saying no one knew the songs,” one TikTok user wrote alongside a video.
“I’m so ashamed that people didn’t know the songs,” one fan said at the time.

“The crowd was so disappointing I felt so sorry for traveling so far in front of such an unenthusiastic crowd,” another added.
blink-182 continue their Australian tour in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday, with Mark, Tom and drummer Travis arriving in the city on Monday.
They’ll perform one more set on Wednesday before flying to Sydney for back-to-back shows on Friday, February 16 and Saturday, February 17.
The trio will then head to Brisbane for three sold-out performances, before returning to Sydney and Melbourne for newly added shows at the end of the month.

blink-182, who last toured Australia in 2013, will then fly to New Zealand for their Auckland and Christchurch shows before continuing the remainder of their world tour.
During their last visit Down Under, drummer Travis did not join the band due to his fear of flying, which stemmed from being a passenger in a fatal plane crash in 2008.
Brooks Wackerman of Bad Religion and Avenged Sevenfold filled in on the sticks.
The band said at the time that they had tried every measure to help Travis get over his fear of flying, but ultimately had to make the trip without him.
