In a move that proves the uncanny and the uncanny-er can coexist, Travis Barker, the unstoppable force behind Blink-182's beats, has been immortalized in wax. The legendary drummer now stands tall, or rather, sits in drumming glory, at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas.
Draped in his signature style, the waxen Travis sports the very threads donated by the man himself. A black leather jacket and trousers, boots with an attitude, a studded belt, and an assortment of silver bling including his wedding ring and a rose ring, complete the rockstar ensemble. But that's not all - the pièce de résistance? The ink that tells the tale of Travis, etched forever in this uncanny doppelgänger.
Upon first glance, Travis was left momentarily awestruck. "I'm honoured, I'm flattered, I'm shocked. It looks so real," he proclaimed in a press release. We can only imagine his initial reaction was something along the lines of, "Who's the real Travis now?"
Taking to Instagram, Travis shared snapshots of him and his waxen twin, urging fans to come and greet his clone. The comments section, predictably, exploded with bewildered emojis and admiration.
In a video clip shared by Madame Tussauds, we witness the meeting of Travis and his waxen counterpart. "Woah! This is insane," he exclaims, the surprise evident in his voice. Dialing up his better half, Kourtney Kardashian, he eagerly shares the moment, exclaiming, "Honey, it looks so real. Isn't it crazy, baby?"
So, if you find yourself in the vibrant heart of Vegas, don't miss your chance to rub shoulders with the immortalized Travis Barker. Who knows, you might just start believing in clones!
