Travis Barker Update at The Insider

Travis Barker Pictures: Travis Barker Released From Burn Center

Two months after surviving a horrific plane crash, drummer Travis Barker made his first television appearance Sunday -- thanking fans and giving them an update on what he's up to now.

"I'm already playing my drums again, and I'm already back in the studio," Travis told Damien Fahey via satellite during the series finale of "TRL."

"It was like riding a bike," he said of getting back behind his drum set. "It was really exciting to know I still have my chops. It still felt good. I still can make it around the kit. Everything felt right, so I'm thankful to be able to play."

Just last week, his +44 bandmate Mark Hoppus said that he's confident Travis will make a full recovery.

"He can't not drum, you know? The man was born to sit behind a drum kit and do his thing," he told MTV News. "He's healing incredibly well. He's healing very quickly. The doctors are saying that his body is really healing in a positive way. ... No matter what I work on, Travis will be part of, for sure."
