Travis Barker ‘Thankful To Be Alive’ After Plane Crash

+44 drummer Travis Barker is speaking out to Us Weekly about after suffering severe burns in a fiery plane crash last month. “I hate planes,” Barker said. “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.”

The 32-year-old, who was released from a Georgia hospital last week and is now being treated at a burn center in Los Angeles, said he’s looking forward to recovering. “I’m so anxious to get out of here,” Barker said. “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.”
