Mark Hoppus talks about Travis Barker and Plus-44

Mark Hoppus (Blink 182, Plus-44) spoke to MTV recently about Travis Barker and the progress of Pluss-44...

"He's home right now with his family, and he's healing and trying to stay as positive as he can. He's always been one of the most musically driven people I've ever known in my entire life, and he's still the same way. He can't wait to get back on the drums. He can't wait to get back in the studio, you know? I can't even imagine what he's had to go through these past weeks, and he's just trying to stay positive and get back in the studio and do good work.

He can't not drum, you know? The man was born to sit behind a drum kit and do his thing. He's healing incredibly well. He's healing very quickly. The doctors are saying that his body is really healing in a positive way. So hopefully, in the next couple months we'll see him behind the kit, I pray. No matter what I work on, Travis will be part of, for sure. "
