Travis Barker is Still Afraid of Flying After Crash
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
The drummer and DJ AM were left in "critical but stable" condition after the accident that killed four passengers, and it still haunts him. Travis admitted that the incident had given him a fear of flying and that is bound to cause issues for the series of concerts which kicked off yesterday.
"This will be the big tour that supports the album in Europe. Mind you, I'm not flying, so it's hard to say what the band could do or what its potential is, because I can't really get everywhere. I'm contemplating getting knocked out and getting on a plane to Australia. I want to overcome that eventually. When I do, I think it's going to be Qantas. They never had a crash, never had a fatality--knock on wood. It's something I want to overcome for me--and my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it."

The 53-year-old singer's demands for her current MDNA run of shows - which began in May and ends in December - are said to include being accompanied by 30 bodyguards, personal chefs, an acupuncturist, a yoga instructor and an on-site dry cleaner.
Additionally, the "Celebration" hitmaker also requests 20 international phone lines backstage and insists on only vegan snacks. Madonna is particular about the look of her dressing room, which must be draped in a particular fabric and filled with white and pale pink roses and lillies, with the stems on each flower trimmed to exactly six inches. After her shows, the singer likes her hotel rooms to be a home-away-from home and has her own furniture shipped into the suites.
"Madonna requires all furniture be removed from the rooms and replaced with her own pieces that she has shipped in," a source said.

News.
