Rocker Travis Barker hospitalized in LA
Rocker Travis Barker remained hospitalized in Los Angeles Wednesday, but no concrete information has yet been released as to why.
Currently, multiple reports circulating claim that his hospitalization is due to pancreatitis triggered by a colonoscopy, though this has yet to be confirmed by his family or team.
TMZ reported that the 46-year-old Barker, accompanied by new wife Kourtney Kardashian, showed up at West Hills Hospital Tuesday morning, but he was then taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Kardashian followed the ambulance to Cedars-Sinai, TMZ reported.
There was no word on what prompted the visit to the hospital. On Tuesday morning, Barker tweeted simply, “God save me,” although it was unclear if the post was related to his medical condition. “God Save Me” is also the title of a song on which Barker and Machine Gun Kelly recently collaborated.
Late Tuesday afternoon, his 16-year-old daughter, Alabama Luella Barker, posted a note on Instagram saying, “Please send your prayers.” According to E! News, she later posted a photo on TikTok, showing her holding her father’s hand as he sat in a hospital bed, with the caption, “Please say a prayer.” The post was later deleted.
The Blink-182 drummer and Kardashian were married last month in Portofino, Italy.
Barker also has an 18-year-old son, Landon Asher Barker.
Barker has a history of health issues, including hospitalization for blood clots. He survived a plane crash that killed two people in 2008. Barker suffered third-degree burns on 65% of his body and was hospitalized for three months. He had 26 surgeries, according to media reports
