Blink-182 star Travis Barker feared he’d never finish his new album Give The Drummer Some after surviving a plane crash that killed two friends in 2008.<\/p>\n

\nThe rocker was only two songs into the album when the tragedy, which left him injured and burned, occurred.\n<\/p>\n

\n His debut is now due for release later this month (Mar11) and Barker admits there was a point during his long recovery that he thought the project would never see the light of day.\n<\/p>\n

\n He tells RollingStone.com, “Honestly, I never thought the album would be finished. For a while after my accident, I was just recovering. No one really thought I would be able to play drums after all the surgeries and everything. That was always on my mind.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Once I was in the studio, it was like, ‘I can walk now, I can play the drums still. I have to finish this.'”\n<\/p>\n

\n Barker underwent 16 surgeries and almost lost his foot as he battled to recover from his injuries.\n<\/p>\n

\n He adds, “It was sketchy, so I came a long way. And mentally I was a basket case.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It was a big amount of time to get off of 20 medications that they had me on, and then physically getting in shape. It was heavy.”<\/p>\n
