Travis Barker Gives Health Update Following School Bus Crash

On Friday (July 13), blink-182 drummer Travis Barker was involved in a pretty serious collision with a school bus. On Saturday (July 14), the musician gave E! News a health update at the 2018 Beautycon event in Los Angeles.

"Yesterday, I was in a really bad car accident but I came out unscathed, which is pretty awesome," he said. "My car is totaled but I pretty much walked away OK, which is awesome. A school bus ran a red light. It was insane. I have a really big 4x4 G-Wagon and if I wasn't in that, it might have been different but it held up pretty well."

Though unharmed from the accident, the 42-year-old rock star has been dealing with unrelated blood clots, which caused Blink to have to reschedule some of their Las Vegas residency dates. The band broke the news via Twitter last month.

"Friends, Travis Barker is suffering from blood clots in both arms and unfortunately cannot perform until cleared to do so by his medical team. The situation is currently being closely monitored," the statement read. "Due to this situation it is with great regret that the blink-182 'Kings of the Weekend' Las Vegas residency dates this weekend must be rescheduled. New dates will be posted on the bands website shortly. If you are not able to attend the rescheduled dates, refunds will be available at point of purchase. 

"'Drumming is my life and it kills me that I can't perform for you guys this weekend. I hope to be back as soon as I can.' - Travis"
