Travis Barker released a statement on his Instagram story, explaining what happened:
"I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. But after dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since. During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube. This resulted in severe life threatening pancreatitis. I am so very very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better."
Previous news releases claimed he had gone in for a colonoscopy.
Kourtney K and his daughter Alabama were by his side. His ex, Shanna Moakler, released a statement saying he was under the best support and care by the medical teams and "his beautiful wife Kourtney." Son Landon is on tour with Machine Gun Kelly and couldn't be there.
