FUSE TV - Blink-182's Travis Barker Talks Scott Weiland & Addiction

Rock icons from around the world have been eulogizing late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, who passed away last week. Everyone from Jane's Addiction's Dave Navarro, Nirvana's Krist Novoselic and Scott's former Velvet Revolver band mate Dave Kushner have spoken of the rocker, while Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan got in on the action with a touching eulogy. Now we can add Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker to that list.

He told Billboard:

"I think it's just ultimately what drugs do when they get the best of somebody. It's sad. Myself, I was addicted to drugs for a long time and the only way I was able to stop doing drugs was being in a plane crash and having morphine for four months when I didn't want it. That's what it took for me to get sober."
