Travis Explains Why His Arm Was In A Sling
Filed under: Awardz > Travis Barker
Travis Barker was a presenter at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, along with his former current band mates from Blink 182.
And, as many of you noticed, Barker was sporting a sling on his arm.
Was that a new injury or a result from the awful plane accident last September?
Backstage, Travis opened up and told TV's Extra, "I kind of rushed out of the hospital and my hand was numb, but I didn't tell anybody. I just wanted to get out. The numbness didn't go away. It was like in four or five of my fingers."
So, Barker recently went in to get the problem addressed.
He says, "I really wanted to fix it as soon as possible. I had bad nerve damage, so I just got surgery. I have eight to ten weeks to recover."
Hopefully this time he'll have a full recovery!

So thats what it was
NOT good news for a drummer!
*YAWNS!
Oh…now I can go on with my day. And this is news? The fact that Leroi Moore from DMB passed away last year and wasn't in the grammy montage of people we lost last year is ridiculous. Top ten biggest grossing band every year for the past ten years and not even a photo with all of the other people that died in 2008. This was a Disney laced Grammy's
aww, well hopefully this time he does the full recovery instead of rushing it.
He couldnt find a sling that was a little nicer for the GRAMMYS????
TRAVIS and all his broken bones really sucks! He is one of the greatest drummers of our time.
Workin' his man a little to much.

He broke his arm jacking off.
Can we call him lefty?

I LOVE YOU TRAVIS, GET BETTER.
that is a dedicated dude, how many pansies would really put up with what he's had to put up with and still get out there… good for you travis!!
Who cares about this…..did anyone notice Morgan Freeman sporting a fake hand. How sad. I didn't know he lost his hand in his car accident. His hand was clearly visibly fake. SERIOUSLY!!
dude is a MONSTER let him heal in peace and stop hating
Travis a badass! Good luck to him and blink 182!!
at least he's taking care of it! get well soon travis!!
Let the haters keep hating, you know they are just jealous..
Ah, Travis numb in the hand? But, I get you needing to get out of the hospital. You should have reported that sooner! Good luck healing.
Travis Barker is L E G E N D. I can't wait till B L I N K tours the UK
At least he did not damage his dick hand. Now that would have been news!
???
What an idiot! He should have told right then what he was feeling..
Poor guy cant play the drums for awhile!
Shanna fell asleep on his arm!
Perez, you are a complete waste of space.
You know that right? I am not telling you anything new. I have even blogged how much the world hates you. snarkhunters dot com slash perez. How do you feel about being the object of hatred and scorn?
weeks? really?
i had nerve damage in my hand which left one side of one of my fingers numb, got an operation and the feeling still hasnt come back after 5 years. AND im a teenager so in theory i should heal quicker
seems a little optimistic
