Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker will reflect on his “raw and redemptive journey” following a horror plane crash in 2008.
Travis Barker is set to explore “the thin line between survival and surrender” in a new documentary.
The Blink-182 drummer is set for a new project with Hulu exploring the aftermath of a horror plane crash in 2008, which killed four people and left the musician badly injured with third-degree burns on more than half his body, while he needed 27 surgeries to help with his injuries.
This summer, he will appear in Hulu documentary Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear.
The synopsis reads: “After surviving a devastating plane crash that nearly took his life, legendary and electrifying drummer Travis Barker embarks on a raw and redemptive journey.
“Once a trash collector in Laguna Beach, his life changed when he stepped in as a replacement for Blink-182’s drummer — igniting a meteoric rise that would make him the driving pulse of a generation.
“Yet beneath the spectacle of fame, the film reveals a complex man battling pain, grief and the thin line between survival and surrender.
“This is the story of the man behind the tattoos. A tribute to those who keep going when the music almost stops.”
The 50-year-old star previously credited “power of love” for getting him back on a plane, as he paid tribute to his now-wife Kourtney Kardashian.
He told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: “I think the power of love really helped me.
“Kourt made it so I fly, my kids fly now. She healed us.”
Although Travis found his first flights easy, he was horrified when he took to the skies for the third time and his private jet began losing cabin pressure.
He recalled pleading: “You’ve gotta be kidding me. God, please. Please.”
He added: “I had someone tell the pilot, ‘No cowboy s***. Just land this f****** plane, please. Don’t try to be a hero.’ But I have no control over it. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel comfortable.”
And Travis is still unsure whether flying is “worth” the stress it brings him.
He said: “It takes a little piece of my life every time I fly. The amount of stress and anxiety it causes is just unbearable. It brings up all this old trauma, and sometimes I’m like, ‘Is this worth it?’
“But I don’t like anything having a hold on me, either — I don’t like being afraid, and I don’t like having things from my past control my future.”
