Travis Barker's serious illness revealed as drummer rushed to hospital

Blink-182 drummer 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, who tied the knot with Kourtney Kardashian just last month, was rushed to West Hills hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.

A number of sources connected to the family have told TMZ that his hospitalisation was a result of pancreatitis.

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.

Symptoms include intense stomach pain, vomiting and fever.

Travis' representatives were contacted for comment.

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.

Meanwhile, Travis was wrapped in a white hospital gown and had a dark grey and black fluffy blanket over his lap.

Amid the ordeal, Travis tweeted: "God save me", sparking fans to share supportive messages in response.
