Travis Barker was reportedly rushed to hospital earlier this week for pancreatitis, reports suggest.

The 46-year-old musician was pictured being wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher on Tuesday, before being transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. His wife, Kourtney Kardashian, at his side.

Barker’s condition was unknown at the time, but TMZ quoted sources Wednesday as saying that his pancreas became inflamed due to a recent colonoscopy procedure. Symptoms include nausea, intense stomach pain and vomiting.

Barker’s current condition is unknown.

The musician’s daughter, Alabama Barker, hinted on Instagram that her dad’s health had taken a serious turn after she asked fans to ‘please send your prayers’. In an earlier post on TikTok the 16-year-old she shared a picture of her holding her dad’s hand as he was seeking treatment. His face wasn’t visible, but he appeared to be sitting up in bed, holding his phone.

She captioned the post: “Please say a prayer,” and added a pink heart emoji added to the image.

Earlier on Tuesday, Travis tweeted a cryptic message, writing, “God save me.”

 

Kardashian, 43, and other members of her family have not yet publicly commented on Barker’s health.

Barker’s eldest, Landon, 18, performed on stage with his friend Machine Gun Kelly in New York City just a few hours after his father’s medical emergency.

Just over a month ago, Barker and Kardashian said “I do” in a lavish wedding ceremony in Portofino, Italy.

Several fans and friends of Barker have taken to social media to send their well-wishes, including Kid Cudi, who wrote: “Travis I love u and I’m prayin for u.”
