Travis Barker, the renowned drummer, recently took to his Instagram Story to share a poignant message from his plane ticket during his journey from Sydney, Australia, to Perth. The ticket bore a touching inscription: “I know I got angels watching over me,” accompanied by the outline of a cross.
This sentiment holds significant meaning for Barker, who miraculously survived a tragic plane crash in 2008 that claimed the lives of four individuals, including his assistant and security guard, and left him with severe third-degree burns covering over half his body.
Despite grappling with a lingering fear of flying following the harrowing incident, Barker has bravely continued to travel, buoyed by the unwavering support of his wife, Kourtney Kardashian. The couple recently embarked on a trip Down Under for Blink-182’s tour in Australia, marking a significant milestone for Barker, who abstained from joining the band’s previous Australian tour in 2013 due to the emotional scars from the crash.
Over the years, Barker has gradually confronted his fear of flying, a journey he attributes in part to the love and encouragement of Kardashian. Their partnership has enabled him to take monumental steps forward, including his first flight in 13 years in 2021.
As Barker continues to navigate life’s highs and lows, he finds solace in the belief that guardian angels are watching over him, guiding him through every challenge and triumph.
