The plane crash that should have killed Travis Barker

In October 2023, Blink-182 came back with One More Time, a powerful song marking their long-awaited reunion after 12 years – before embarking on huge a worldwide tour.

For Travis Barker- who some of you may only know as Kourtney Kardashian’s husband- the road to this moment was anything but easy. In fact, it was paved with one of the most terrifying experiences of his life.

In the song, the band talks about how personal tragedies and life events brought them back together. With lyrics like:

“I wish they told us, it shouldn’t take a sickness, Or airplanes falling out the sky…”

That reference? It’s a direct nod to a terrifying moment in Travis Barker’s life: the 2008 plane crash that nearly ended it all.
