The Kardashians star and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has offered fans a health update, after the musician was hospitalised with a "life threatening" condition last week.

Reports emerged last week that Travis, who recently married Kourtney Kardashian, was rushed to hospital after experiencing complications following a routine procedure.

Now, Travis has revealed that what is usually a straightforward "endoscopy" had had worrying consequences for his health.

In a statement shared on social media, Travis explained that he'd had an endoscopy – a test that looks inside your body using a long, thin tube and a camera – which "unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube".

"I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great," he wrote. "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."

Fortunately, it appears that Travis is now on the mend. "I am so very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better," he added, before later sharing a photo on Instagram of board games, a recovery essential.

Travis and Kourtney tied the knot earlier this year after a year of dating – and they did so no fewer than three times.

Following on from an unofficial wedding in Vegas after the 2022 Grammy Awards, the couple officially tied the knot in an intimate legal ceremony in May, before jetting off to the picturesque village of Portofino in Italy to hold a lavish celebration.

The Kardashians is available in full now on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu in the US.
