Travis Barker was hospitalized in Los Angeles yesterday. The Blink-182 drummer was diagnosed with pancreatitis — an inflammation of the pancreas that includes symptoms such as nausea, stomach pain and vomiting — following colonoscopy. According to Variety, he was first rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for further care after first checking into West Hills Hospital and Medical Center on Tuesday.
Kourtney Kardashian, who married Barker a little over a month ago, has been by his side in the hospital since he was first admitted. Barker’s daughter, Alabama, posted her father resting in a hospital bed on social media, asking fans to “Please send your prayers.” The musician himself took to Twitter and expressed what many believe is his reaction to the pain of his condition.
Barker has previously been ill with staph infection and cellulitis, a bacterial infection that can cause swelling, inflammation and pain. In 2018, a number of Blink-182’s Las Vegas residency shows were canceled when he suffered blood clots in his arms. In each case, he recovered and returned to making music. Hopefully he is able to do so again.
