Travis Barker Offers Update on Recovery Process

Although he’s still in hospital, Travis Barker found a minute to thank his fans for their support and also offer them an update on his recuperation.

Three weeks after surviving the upsetting plane crash that killed four people, the ex Blink-182 drummer posted a message on his MySpace blog in which he showed gratitude to his supporters for being there for him during his recovery from the deadly accident, which took place in September.

The 32-year-old musician, who sustained second- and third degree burns, also paid tribute to his employees and friends who died in the crash, assistant Chris Baker and security guard Charles Still, both aged 29.

In the message he posted on Saturday evening, Travis Barker explained that although the recovery process had been slow, he was able to move all the fingers from his right hand. In addition, he said that he would undergo his seventh surgery on Monday and that he couldn’t wait to spend time with his kids again.

Travis Barker explained that he felt better after seeing how well DJ AM had recovered. The disc jockey is the only other survivor of the September 19 plane crash.

“Seeing him after he was discharged was an inspiration,” he wrote. “I saw just how awesome the doctors’ work here is, and got to see how well he is doing. I am so happy to see him doing well, and we are both so lucky and grateful that we are alive today.”

The former Blink-182 member rejected all rumors regarding his alleged get-together with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, whom he divorced in February.

“Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, I’ve been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and in Georgia. The hospitals I’ve been treated at are THE BEST,” the musician wrote.

Although the reference to his former spouse was subsequently deleted from Travis Barker’s MySpace Celebrity blog, the rocker left the message on his actual MySpace page.
