LOS ANGELES (KNX) - Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker's cause for hospitalization was due to pancreatitis, according to multiple reports.

Barker nor his family has not confirmed this at this time.
The 46-year-old musician was seen in a stretcher with his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, beside him. TMZ reported that he and Kardashian had gone to West Hills Hospital first for a “health issue" before being taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills.
Barker's 16-year-old daughter, Alabama, posted, "Please send your prayers," on her Instagram story later that day,
Barker's medical history includes a staph infection and cellulitis, and in 2018 he had blood clots in his arms, according to Variety.
In 2008, Barker was one of two people who managed to escape after a Learjet crashed during take-off in South Carolina. The four other people on board died.
