US Weekly got the first interview with Travis Barker since that horrible plane accident almost two weeks ago that left 4 people dead and DJ AM and him suffering second and third degree burns.
"I hate planes," the ex-Blink 182 drummer, 32, tells Us exclusively. "My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened … well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all."
How are you doing?
"I am doing the best I can possibly be. I'm so anxious to get out of here. …I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I'm trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Moakler.] I'm going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!"
How much longer will you be in the hospital?
"Oh gosh, I hope not much longer. I sit here and I read books and watch TV. I think if this surgery went well, I'll be here for at most two weeks."
My friend reminded me, when Travis broke his arm a few years he reworked the drum set so he could play. So if any one can come back from this and bang on the drums, it is Travis Barker!
To read the rest of this interview you can pick up Us Weekly on stands now. May his recovery be speedy.
Now on to DJ AM, People is reporting that his friends are putting on a benefit concert in his honor with proceeds going to the memorial funds established crash victims.
The bash – to be held Oct. 14 at Avalon Hollywood – will include performances from celebrity DJs, including Mark Ronson, Steve Aoki, Danny Masterson and Mixmaster Mike.
