The rumors that Travis Barker has died are false. Sometimes-wifey Shanna Moakler posted a bulletin on her MySpace refuting the hoax.

“I’m not quite sure who would start such a sick rumor, even if it was done as a joke. I am happily laying next to my husband who is alive and well and it brings me great pleasure to stop a rumor as horrific as that. It is indeed FALSE.

health, wealth and happiness
shanna xoxoxooxoxoxo”

On November 15th, reports sweeped the Net claiming the Blink-182 rocker had been found dead in his garage.

    they waste their time and just for attention, im sure Travis Barker is alive and well.

    wow, seriously people if anyone knows who started that you should freak on them. no, im not another crazed fan. i was at one point. but theres more to travis than his drumming skills, looks, and such. deep down hes a kind hearted person, with a family. imagine if your dad was famous and maybe you were away for a bit and you come on your myspace or something and see that HE’S DEAD! when in fact; he’s alive and well and still being the best drummer he can. people are just so cold-hearted sometimes it makes me sick. someone really just wanted the satisfaction of knowing they started a rumor that he was dead. when he was in blink 182 he inspired me to start drumming. when i heard they broke up. i cried. for a week. then he joined another band and yeah it was cool for a while. but eventually i lost touch with drumming and no this is not about me im just saying. to some people hes more than a drummer, he’s an inspiration a symbol of hope. if the person who wrote this reads this; well i hope you feel bad now, and i hope somehow you fix this wrong.

    That’s Crazy everybody was believing it…. As soon as saw the bulletin, I checked out a few websites and saw nothing that he was dead and knew it was fake. Come on now, common sense. and for whoever started it must have a boring life and is probably going to commit suicide….
