Travis Barker has spoken to the press for the first time since his plane crash last month. He told US weekly: “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…I am doing the best I can possibly be,” he said. “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 has second-degree burns and one has third-degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again, and be able to hold my kids again.” The drummer was too afraid to travel in an aeroplane following his release from hospital, so travelled by bus to his Los Angeles home. He is receiving treatment in a burns centre in the city. Barker is expected to be released from the burns centre in around two weeks.
