Six months ago, Barker promised Australian fans he’d try counseling and medication to make it. 

“I still haven’t gotten over the horrific events that took place the last time I flew when my plane crashed and four people were killed, two being my best friends,” Barker wrote about the 2008 incident in South Carolina.
