Famous Blink-182 rockstar and recently wedded husband of Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, is fighting for his life in hospital following a health scare.
Why was Travis Barker hospitalised?
TMZ first broke the news with images showing Barker being whisked away in a stretcher with Kardashian by his side. From what we understand, emergency medical officials were called to the couple’s residence in Calabasas, LA, on Tuesday.
It remains unclear at this point what happened to the rockstar but reports confirm he was first rushed to West Hills Hospital in Calabasas on Tuesday morning before he was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre where he has remained in treatment for an undisclosed condition.
Speculation is rife about Barker’s health scare but concern grew when his daughter, 16-year-old Alabama Luella Barker, posted an Instagram story asking for prayers.
Neither Barker’s representatives nor Kourtney has surfaced with more information on the famous drummer’s latest condition.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Barker suffered a similar health scare in 2018 when he was hospitalised for a staph infection and cellulitis, a bacterial infection that caused inflammation in his arms.
It’s unclear what the issue is this time around, but whatever Barker is going through, it must be very serious since his last tweet before he was hospitalised was a plea to God.
God save me
