Word has been going around the Web that Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182 and Plus 44 was found dead in his garage. Barker is reputed to be one of the greatest drummers in history.
What this really looks like is someone taking an opportunity to get a few hits to their blog or website, as this article from People on Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker's anniversary evidently gave them a little brainstorm to offer the idea and thought that he had died, to get them some Internet traffic.
Here are some of the quotes alleged to be garnered from MySpace:
Last night on November 13th famous drummer Travis Barker was found dead in his garage. “He was found in his garage coming home from a dinner/award ceremony.” said reporter Tom Burry.
Investigators are not sure of how Former +44 drummer yet died or they are not telling the public the full truth yet.
Travis’s wifes exact words “everyone in the world has someone special who has died in there life. Maybe it hasn’t happen yet but please pray for Travis and my family. I would appreciate it and whoever did this to Travis is a sick! man.”
So if you have a heart please repost this and take a minute and pray for this great drummer known as Travis barker.
Again, this is probably all a farce for the reasons already said.
If nothing else, it's a good excuse to listen in on him doing his thing, as shown below in this video:

i dont think so, they all say the death was on the 13th, and by now there isnt any newspaper or magazine coverage?? give me a break here, there would be at least a mention of a possible hoax if there was a chance it wasnt just a big rumor on myspace. my oppinion, big hoax
