Blink-182 drummer is still afraid of flying

Oct 10, 2011
Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker claimed that he still has a fear of flying. Musician has survived a plane crash three years ago, which took the lives of his two friends. Barker himself had severe burns and injuries, and since that time he does not travel by air.

Drummer claimed that this phobia is a big obstacle in his life of musician and that he even considers using hypnotherapy to deal with it.

"Unfortunately I can't do as much touring as I would like because I don't fly. It's an obstacle. I'm working on it though. I'm trying to get hypnotised, trying to talk to a doctor who retrains your brain", said he.

Earlier Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus spoke about the work on the band's new album Neighborhoods. According to his words, they were not in studio together while recording it: he and drummer Travis Barker laid down their parts in Los Angeles, while guitarist Tom Delonge did his part of work in San Francisco.

According to Mark Hoppus, it was not an obstacle for them – moreover, it gave them the necessary tension.
