Speaking of his assistant Chris Baker, who was killed in the crash, he says, "Chris was my best friend before anything else, and I can never put into words how much he will be missed."
And of Charles Still, his security guard who also died, he continues, "Che was an amazing person as well, and I was honored to have him in my life."
The former Blink 182 rocker also gives an update on his condition.
"Like the doctors said from the beginning, it's been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday. Today I finally was able to move all my fingers on my right hand. Every step seems huge at this point, and I'm doing EVERYTHING I can possibly do to get back to my kids."
