The headline of the article is Drummer's fear of flying disrupts Blink-182 Oz tour. It was published on http://www.bbc.co.uk on Fabruary 18, 2013 by Steve Holden. The article deals with Blink - 182's problems with a concert in Australia.
Firstly, the author notes that Blink-182's Travis Barker has announced he's skipping the band's tour in Australia due to his fear of flying. The drummer says he's still suffering from the effects of a plane crash in 2008 which killed four people. Barker was one of two survivors when a private plane burst into flames during an aborted take-off.
Secondly, Steve Holden points out that in a statement, all three members of Blink-182 said that the band knew the chances of Travis overcoming his fear of flying, which was magnified after the horrible plane crash in 2008, would be a challenge, but we wanted to play for our fans in Australia nonetheless.
Thirdly, the author underlines that Barker will be replaced on the tour by Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion and Tenacious D.
To crown it all, Steve Holden tells the reader that Mark Hoppus had spoken about how the band juggle their international tour commitments with Barker's fear of planes.
To my mind, it's not a tregedy that the drummer can't take part in this concert, though some fans can be disappointed. Life is much more important.
