Kourtney Kardashian’s husband has been reportedly hospitalised because he has pancreatitis, which was triggered by a colonoscopy.
Travis Barker is in hospital
Travis Barker is currently in hospital due to pancreatitis, and doctors believe it was caused by a colonoscopy, it has been reported.
The 46-year-old Blink-182 star visited West Hills hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening due to a medical issue, before being rushed by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre. He was accompanied by his wife Kourtney Kardashian.
A number of sources connected to the family have told TMZ that his hospitalisation was a result of pancreatitis, which includes symptoms like intense stomach pain, vomiting and fever.
Pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed over a short period of time and is a rare potential complication following a colonoscopy.
Travis’ concerned daughter shared a post on her Instagram story, asking her 1.4million fans to “please send your prayers” following the news of Travis’ hospitalisation.

In a now-deleted image originally shared on her TikTok page, 16-year-old Alabama posted a photo of herself holding her dad’s hand while he was sat upright in a hospital bed.
The image showed Travis wearing a black brace over his wrist and thumb while he held his phone in the other.
He was also seen wearing a white hospital identity band around his wrist. Alabama covered this with a pink heart emoji to hide Travis’ personal details.
A wire could be seen coming from a dark blue frame onto the bed.
