Travis Barker is recalling the eerie warning his daughter Alabama gave him before his near-fatal 2008 plane crash. Speaking on the 'On Purpose with Jay Shetty' podcast on August 10, the Blink-182 drummer said Alabama became emotional before he left for a concert and begged, “Dad, don’t go!” before telling him, “The roof’s gonna come off.”
Barker also had a bad feeling about the flight, even calling his father beforehand to make sure his children would be cared for if anything happened. The crash killed four people, while Barker and Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein survived—though Goldstein would later die from an accidental drug overdose in August 2009.
Like Barker, many international stars have to travel frequently for work. Film premieres, tours, festivals, press trips, and far-flung vacations often mean stepping onto a plane, whether they like it or not. But some stars find flying genuinely frightening. For a few, the fear comes from a traumatic mid-air experience, while others have dealt with panic, anxiety, or a lifelong uneasiness with air travel.
