What a bummer//wet blanket

The superstar is likely to put off his performance. He's got a cold. What a bummer!

Hi,
Does "what a bummer" in the above equal "what a wet blanket" or "what a pity?" Thanks.

What a bummer = What a depressing/disappointing situation. A pity perhaps, but not a wet blanket -- a wet blanket is a person.
