This is sweet! Drummer of Blink-182, Travis Barker who was in a plane crash that only he and DJ AM (who died of a drug overdose) survived in September 2008, took time to visit the burn center that treated him. Travis stopped at the Joseph M. Still Burn center in Atlanta where he met with patients and signed autographs for them.
Travis released a statement saying, "I'm here to say 'thank you' to everyone who took care of me after the accidents. I was sort of unconscious the last time I was here, and I felt like I owed them a big 'thank you.' "
That's very touching that he did this, you can tell he is really thankful to be alive and for all the support and help he received. The drummer later went to his Twitter to write, "Just leaving the JMS burn center here in GA. Amazing talented people over there, angels is what I like to call them. Wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them. Glad I was able to go by and say thank u. I'll never forget them or what they did for me."
Not only did Travis make this visit, but the band donated $100K to burn centers.
