Just one day after drummer Travis Barker was photographed being taken into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, sources have reportedly revealed what caused the 46-year-old to end up in the hospital on Tuesday.
As reported by TMZ, the Blink-182 drummer was rushed to the hospital after complications related to a colonoscopy.
His youngest daughter Alabama has been asking fans for prayers for her father since last night and even shared a photo of him in the hospital.
On Tuesday afternoon, it was reported that legendary drummer Travis Barker was rushed to the hospital.
The star was taken to a hospital in L.A. by ambulance with his new wife Kourtney Kardashian by his side as he arrived at the local facility West Hills.
After arriving at the local hospital, it seemed the 46-year-old’s condition was serious enough for him to be transferred to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in an ambulance.
In an eerie coincidence, Travis tweeted “God save me” at 10:45 AM local time, seemingly amidst his medical emergency.
While that is the name of his friend, Machine Gun Kelly’s song, there’s no denying the timing of the tweet gave fans cause for concern.

A few minutes after the news made international headlines, Travis’ teenage daughter Alabama posted on her Instagram story asking fans for prayers for her father.
“Please send your prayers,” the 16-year-old wrote alongside a crying face emoji.
As fans may know, Travis is a father of two children with his ex-wife, actress Shanna Moakler — Alabama Luella Barker, 16, and Landon Asher Barker, 18.
Later on Tuesday night, Alabama posted a since-deleted TikTok which featured her dad in a hospital bed.
“Please say a prayer,” she captioned the photo, which shows her holding her father’s hand and using a heart emoji to cover the private information on his hospital band.
Fans anxiously waited to hear reports from either Travis’ or Kourtney’s reps, but nothing was revealed Tuesday night.
Now, TMZ is reporting that the drummer was hospitalized for pancreatitis, which doctors believe was triggered after he underwent a recent colonoscopy.
A source spoke to “ET” to give their own report on what happened to Travis.
“Travis was sick and had intense pain in his abdomen and it really concerned him and Kourtney. They called 911 and he was rushed to the hospital,” the source told the news outlet. “After speaking with Travis and running several tests, doctors said Travis is suffering from pancreatitis.”
As per Mayo Clinic, symptoms of pancreatitis can include nausea, severe stomach pain, and vomiting.
“Pancreatitis can occur as acute pancreatitis — meaning it appears suddenly and lasts for days. Some people develop chronic pancreatitis, which is pancreatitis that occurs over many years,” the Mayo Clinic website states.
Fans have taken to social media to send their support to the drummer during this difficult time.
There has not been an official update on how Travis is doing since the news was shared by a source to TMZ.
We’re hoping for a speedy recovery for Travis.
