Barker was in a horrific plane crash in 2008 which left him severely burned. Over the course of three months, he needed 16 surgeries, including many skin grafts. On top of the pain of these ailments, Barker needed to detox from prescription drug addiction at the same time. Considering how much of this Barker has shared with fans himself, it’s no wonder that they speculated on social media.
