Travis Barker has been very busy gearing up for Blink-182's second Coachella performance this weekend. The band was a surprise performance at the first weekend of the festival. That was meant to be it for them, but Frank Ocean dropped out. As such, Blink-182 stepped in to replace him as the headliner for weekend 2. Travis has been rehearsing with the band much of the week. They have to make sure they are in fighting form for the upcoming weekend. A crazed fan, however, thought he was home. Somehow, she thought it would be a great idea to smash her car into his security gate.
TMZ says that, according to sources close to Travis Barker, a fan drove her car through the security gate of his community. The woman spent a large portion of the day trying to gain access to his community by other means. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful, so she thought she would try the next best thing. For her, that meant trying to ram her car through the gate in order to get inside. Security officers immediately detained her until police officers arrived and arrested her.
Blink-182: From Surprise Performers To Coachella Headliners
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Blink-182 would be taking Frank Ocean's place as headliners at Coachella. The band returned to the stage in their original lineup for the first time in a very long time. Travis Barker, of course, has been with the band since the beginning. However, he has branched out quite a bit in recent years. In fact, for a drummer, he has made quite the solo career for himself. He has collaborated with some pretty legendary artists. He also recently married Kourtney Kardashian, which was a very unexpected union. Regardless of what he's been up to since Blink-182's heyday, fans are surely happy to see Travis back with the old band again.
Earlier this week Frank Ocean's team released a statement. In it, they confirmed that the artist would not be making an appearance at weekend 2. “Frank Ocean will not be performing at weekend 2 of Coachella. After suffering an injury to his leg on festival grounds in the week leading up to weekend 1,” the statement said. “Frank Ocean was unable to perform the intended show but was still intent on performing. In 72 hours, the show was reworked out of necessity.” This is bad news for Frank Ocean's fans. However, Blink-182 and Travis Barker fans are probably pretty elated right now. If not for her trying to break into his home and do who knows what, Travis' crazed fan might have also been able to attend. Maybe she can catch the livestream from jail.
