Travis Barker telah menyatakan bahwa dia tidak akan ikut dengan Blink-182 untuk turnya di Australia, dikarenakan masih trauma dengan kecelakaan fatal di tahun 2008. Seperti yang diketahui, kecelakaan fatal yang terjadi 5 tahun lalu itu telah menewaskan 4 orang, termasuk asisten Travis Barker. Sedangkan, Travis Barker mengalami luka bakar yang cukup parah. Sejak saat itu, Travis berkeliling melalui laut ke berbagai negara dan benua untuk pergi tur dengan Blink-182. Namun, untuk tur di Australia, Travis meminta maaf kepada penggemarnya dan memaparkan alasannya untuk tidak ikut di tur ini melalui akun Facebooknya, "I'm sorry to announce i won't be joining Blink-182 on this Australian tour. 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. I gave the band my blessing to take another drummer if they still wanted to do the tour without me. I hope to come to Australia again some day perhaps by ship if need be. Unfortunately, there wasn't a boat that worked with the schedule this time around. Once again I'm sorry to all the fans." Rilisan terakhir dari Blink-182 adalah EP "Dogs Eating Dogs" yang dirilis pada bulan Desember 2012.
