Travis Barker is set to lay bare his darkest trauma in a powerful new Hulu documentary, as he revisits the horror plane crash that almost took his life in 2008 and changed him forever.

The 50-year-old Blink-182 drummer was left fighting for survival after the tragic crash that killed four people and left him with third-degree burns across more than half his body. 

He underwent 27 surgeries and spent months recovering from injuries that nearly ended his career and life.

Now, his story will be told in Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, which explores the thin line between survival and surrender. 

The documentary traces his journey from a trash collector in Laguna Beach to global fame with Blink-182, while also exposing the pain, grief and trauma beneath the rock star image.

According to the synopsis, the film is a “raw and redemptive journey” showing a man still battling the emotional scars of fame and survival. 

Barker has described how love from wife Kourtney Kardashian helped him overcome his fear of flying, calling her support life-changing.

He admitted that flying still brings back intense trauma, revealing moments of panic mid-air and ongoing anxiety. 

Despite that, he says he refuses to let fear control his life, even if every flight takes an emotional toll.

The upcoming documentary is expected to offer fans an unfiltered look at Barker’s life beyond the stage, blending fame, pain and survival into one emotional story. 

It will also feature never-before-seen moments from his recovery and personal reflections on how close he came to losing everything.
