Rumors are running rampant on the internet that Blink 182 and + 44 drummer Travis Barker is dead. “travis barker dead” is currently one of the hottest search terms on Google.
The rumor apparently started with social networking site Myspace on bulletins declaring (sic):

Turn speakers up!…
Last night on November 13th famous drummer Travis Barker was found dead in his garage. “He was found in his garage coming home from a dinner/award ceremony.” said reporter Tom Burry.
Investigators are not sure of how Former +44 drummer yet died or they are not telling the public the full truth yet.
Travis’s wifes exact words “everyone in the world has someone special who has died in there life. Maybe it hasn’t happen yet but please pray for Travis and my family. I would appreciate it and whoever did this to Travis is a sick! man.”
So if you have a heart please repost this and take a minute and pray for this great drummer known as Travis barker.
And if you don’t repost this no one will kill you and no one will hurt you and no you won’t have bad luck for seven years. You not posting this just shows you have no heart.
*So please just repost as “in loving memory of Travis Barker.

The bulletin states that Barker was found in his garage on November 13th, so Travis Barker fans need not fret. I believe there would be some press coverage beyond a few blog postings if this story was true.

Wow... I think it would have been announced if it were true!

my friend Angie is friends with him, i'd think she'd post it on her myspace if he died.

Calling bullshit until the press release

Hi guys. Long time no see

Just in the mood for some gossip.

Is he known to be a druggie? Is it possible that he ODed or something and actually died but came back to life?

Just speculating, of course... I don't know enough about this and I don't feel like googling for more...

NicoleWasHere · November 16th, 2007, 02:17 AM

I guess because Myspace is now a credible source.

Hi Moomies. Good to see you here again!

Hey moomies!

You're missed around here. I hope you stay around!
(I'm Stayyoung by the way)

I'm confused by this "whoever did this to Travis is a sick! man"
that implies that he was murdered or something!

Folieadeux · November 16th, 2007, 02:24 AM

I don't believe it.

moomies · November 16th, 2007, 02:26 AM

Heya, thanks for the welcome back.

Hello SY&P! You've been missed, too

Every now and then rumours start on the internet that this and that celeb died. Most of the time it turns out to be just and only a rumour.

I remember hearing Glenn Close was dead once (died in a plane crash...). And wasn't there also some rumour that Robin Williams was dead?

I'm just guessing though for those rocker types that it's more likely than others that maybe they'd have drug overdose or something and found passed out somewhere and presumed dead.

^^It must be really weird to be alive and to hear rumours that you are dead. Can't imagine it.

crackho · November 16th, 2007, 06:43 AM

^^Wow, what a wonderful idea for a website...."Fake-a-death". For one e z payment of $29.99, I will give you the choice of 100 possible death scenarios, write your obit, and send it to 5 major publications of your choice, as well as to a myriad of internet sites and bloggers. For another easy payment of $29.99, I'll announce the hoax a few days later.

Now wouldn't that be perfect for getting out of work over after you've exhausted all other excuses?

Hey mooms, long time no see!
