It’s been more than four years since Travis Barker and DJ AM survived the fatal 2008 plane crash that killed four other passengers, but the Blink 182 drummer is still severely traumatized.
The musician opens up about the aftermath of the crash and how it has affected his life and family in the August 2012 issue of The Red Bulletin, revealing that even his children are afraid to fly – and Breaking Celebrity News has the details.
Barker, who has relied on ocean liners instead of airplanes to get him across the Atlantic, admits that his phobia has affected the success of his band.
“I’m not flying, so it’s hard to say what the band potential is, because I can’t really get anymore,” he explained, revealing that he is contemplating ‘getting knocked out and getting on a plane to Australia.’
“I want to overcome that eventually. When I do, I think it is going to be Australia. I trust Qantas. They never had a crash, never had a fatality – knock on wood.”
