Barker was previously hospitalized in 2018 after blood clots were found in both of his arms. "He has been ordered by his doctors to refrain from any activity that may cause further damage or cause the clots to travel," Blink-182 said at the time. Barker was then readmitted to the hospital that year due to a staph infection and cellulitis.

In 2008, Barker also survived a plane crash, which required him to undergo over 20 surgeries and several skin grafts, according to Men's Health. He told Men's Health in 2021, "I could die riding my skateboard. I could get in a car accident. I could get shot. Anything could happen. I could have a brain aneurysm and die. So why should I still be afraid of airplanes?"
