Kourtney Kardashian is known for receiving a lot of criticism from social media users. be for her carbon emission statements or from with a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt , Kardashian’s older brother knows you can’t please everyone. However, with the announcement that original Blink 182 members Travis Barker, Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus will be reuniting for a world tour, fans of the band – and one viral tweet in particular – thanked the reality TV star for the role. of her in make the barker comfortable enough to fly again .
In 2008, Travis Barker was one of six people aboard a private plane that crashed midway through takeoff in South Carolina, killing four people. No wonder the Blink 182 drummer avoided airplanes afterwards, at least until he was in a relationship with Kourtney Kardashian. He credited his wife with helping him overcome this fear, thus allowing the tour to come, and the new Mrs. Barker role did not go unnoticed by this Twitter user:
Who knew we would all be grateful to Kourtney Kardashian for helping Travis Barker overcome his flight anxiety and ultimately ENABLE Blink 182’s first “World Tour” in over 10 years. The last time he visited Europe, he arrived by ship as a cholera-riddled missionary since 1900.11 October 2022
The tweet amusingly points out that a world tour probably wouldn’t be possible if Travis Barker was forced to circumnavigate the globe, as he would arrive at his last European concert by boat. While the drummer’s image as an “angry missionary” made some laughs, the tweet also served as a teaching moment for a surprising number of fans, who didn’t even know Barker was a member of Blink 182. commented :
It was the tweet that taught me that Travis Barker is on Blink 182 and not just a random guy created by the Kardashians for the drama.
I guess drummers aren’t always the most famous members of a band, but many who have seen admissions like the one above have wondered “How old am I again?” since Travis Barker rose to prominence as a member of Blink 182 at the turn of the century, when the only Kardashian anyone really knew was OJ Simpson’s defense attorney Robert, father of Kim Kardashian , et al. Entire decades would have passed sooner Barker has been romantically involved with Kourtney Kardashian .
The musician was open about how his current wife helped him find the courage to fly again. Until they reunited, he had refused to fly after the plane crash, in which two of his entourage, along with the two pilots, died. The other survivor, Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein, died of an overdose a year later.
He said after Kourtney Kardashian talked about wanting to travel the world together, Travis Barker struck a deal with her that he would come back, provided she gave him 24 hours’ notice. Everything he did to help her overcome her trauma seems to have worked and Blink 182 fans have been grateful (if not too kind), to another. comment on viral tweet reading:
And there, I think all Kardashians are useless hahaha
With Travis Barker planning the jet set for next year (Blink 182’s tour is scheduled for March 2023 to February 2024), we’ll need to see if that means he’ll appear less frequently in future seasons of The Kardashians. For now, however, he can still be seen clinging to his wife’s side, with new episodes available every Thursday for fans with a Hulu subscription .
