In an earlier post on X, Barker, who is preparing to rejoin his bandmates for the remainder of the Europe leg of their tour, had opened up once more about his fear of flying. “I still hate flying. I love touring and playing music but I unfortunately associate traveling and flying with death,” hewroteon the social media platform. “I am strong and nothing can keep me from living life though 💪.”

“I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock,” she continued the Sept. 6post. “And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.”
She continued, “As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”
