Travis Barker Wasn't Sure That He Could Still Play
. "For a while after my accident, I was just recovering," he said. "No one really thought I would be able to play drums after all the surgeries and everything. That was always on my mind. Once I was in the studio, it was like, 'I can walk now, I can play the drums still. I have to finish [the solo album].'" Barker's recovery included 16 surgeries and he almost had one of his feet amputated. He also said his left hand was completely numb for a while. "It was sketchy, so I came a long way. And mentally I was a basket case," he said. "It was a big amount of time to get off of 20 medications that they had me on, and then physically getting in shape. It was heavy." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Travis Barker CDs |
