'It was the best tour of our lives, ever,' he says of roller-coaster summer. By James Montgomery Travis Barker Photo: Gilbert Carrasquillo/ FilmMagic Travis Barker has had some time to digest everything that happened during Blink-182's reunion tour . It was a three-month roller-coaster ride that featured the highest of highs — sold-out venues , blissed-out crowds , high-flying drum solos — and, with the shocking death of Barker's friend Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein , the absolute lowest of lows. So last week, when MTV News spoke to him about his upcoming solo album , we asked for his reactions on the Blink tour and how he coped with Goldstein's death while in the midst of it all. "No doubt, it was the best tour of our lives, ever. The most fun I've ever had on a Blink tour with Mark and Tom," Barker said. "[I] couldn't have got through the lowest of lows on that tour without Mark and Tom, so it was a blessing in disguise. ... I couldn't imagine being ...

Andrea Goss picks up son's $20 million suit after his August death. By Larry Carroll DJ AM Photo: Jordan Strauss/ Getty Images Just months after her son died from a drug overdose, DJ AM's mother is picking up the late musician's lawsuit against the airline whose crash nearly killed him, claiming the two events are related. Andrea Gross, the mother of Adam Goldstein, has amended her son's $20 million lawsuit against the manufacturer of the Learjet that crashed upon takeoff in September 2008 with Goldstein and Travis Barker onboard . Also named in the lawsuit are the estates of the deceased pilots and others. According to a People report, Los Angeles court papers show that Gross has added a wrongful-death claim to her son's lawsuit. "The crash ultimately caused Adam Goldstein's death at a later date," the document reads. A trial is set for March 2, with Learjet continuing to deny responsibility for the crash. DJ AM and Blink-182 drummer Barker were flying out of ...

Slash, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington also on tap for Barker's LP. By James Montgomery Travis Barker Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/ Getty Images While the status of Blink-182's much-discussed "Up All Night" — the new song they didn't play on their just-wrapped reunion tour — remains unclear, drummer Travis Barker isn't letting that stop him from talking up another new Blink tune, one that will appear on his upcoming solo record. "There's some stuff on my record that's not going to have a bunch of guitars, that are just straight-up hip hop records. Everything's going be real different. It's going to be really well-rounded," he told MTV News on Wednesday. "We got a new Blink song on there, I think I'm going to do something with Chester Bennington from Linkin Park . Hopefully a guest appearance from Slash, I'm doing his big fundraiser that happens this month. I think there's going to be a collaboration with [Kanye West's touring DJ] A-Track, so it's ...

'It was a tough one, man,' Blink-182 drummer says of crafting his remix of the track featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. By James Montgomery Travis Barker Photo: Kristian Dowling/ Getty Images Travis Barker doesn't sleep. At all. Which is how he's able to keep cranking out remixes while simultaneously working on a new Blink-182 record, his own solo album, and rehearsing for an upcoming show with none other than Slash (a November 22 benefit for the Los Angeles Youth Network). And that's not even getting into his business ventures, or his role as a rock-and-roll dad. "Yeah, I wake up at 6," he laughed. "I'm a busy man, I guess." Seriously, the guy never rests. And as if you need further proof of this, check out his brand-new remix of Drake's "Forever," which Barker emailed to MTV News Wednesday (November 11) morning. It's just the latest in a long line of hip hop tracks he's remixed (earlier this year, he took a stab at Eminem's gory "3 A.M." and his take ...
