In 2008, Barker was involved in a tragic private plane crash.
The accident killed four people – two pilots; Travis Barker ’s personal assistant, Chris Baker; and his security guard, Che Still.
Travis and TRV$DJAM band partner DJ AM escaped the wreckage, but Adam died a year later.
He said that escaping death changed everything for him.

“Oh, it absolutely changed my life, 110 per cent. There was just a lot for me to deal with, from survivor’s guilt to watching my assistant’s son grow up without a father. He’s the same age as my daughter. I know every day since that crash has been a blessing,” he told Kerrang last year.

“I just had to convince myself that I walked away still-alive for a reason, and I should make the most of every day.
“But until you almost die, until you look death in the face, you can’t honestly say, ‘I cherish every day like it’s my last.’ I think people that have cheated death just do it in a different way.”
