Travis Barker advises his son, Landon Barker, to turn down an offer to appear on The Voice. In comments reported by outlets, the Blink-182 drummer says Landon is “way too cool for that” and frames his advice by comparing the show to the kind of path an artist’s influences might follow.
Both sources cite Barker’s point that if Landon’s idol is Kurt Cobain, then that influence would not lead him to participate in a mainstream televised singing competition like The Voice. The coverage centers on Barker’s direct warning to his son, with no additional details provided about the circumstances of the offer, whether Landon has responded, or if the appearance is ultimately pursued.
