    Travis Barker is set to "be OK" after he was hospitalised with reported pancreatitis

    A source told E! the 46-year-old Blink-182 drummer's wife Kourtney Kardashian, 43, is trying to stay positive as she remains by his side at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles


    The insider had said: "He was in extreme pain yesterday, and he and Kourtney were both really worried. It was to the point where he could barely walk.

    "Kourtney is trying to lift his spirits and hates seeing him in excruciating pain."

    But they added Barker is expected to be "ok and is doing better".

    Barker's apparent pancreatitis is believed to have been "triggered" by a recent colonoscopy, it was claimed on Thursday (30.06.22) by TMZ.

    It comes after Barker's stepdaughter thanked fans for their "love and prayers" amid his hospitalisation.

    The drummer was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, and Atiana De La Hoya - the daughter of Barker's ex-wife Shanna Moakler, and pro boxer Oscar De La Hoya - said everybody's well wishes were "appreciated".

    She said on her Instagram Stories: "Thank you for the outpouring of love and prayers sent our way at this time. It is heard, felt and appreciated Xx. (sic)"

    Barker's new wife is said to be refusing to leave his bedside.

    He was wheeled into Cedars-Sinai after tweeting "God save me" on Tuesday. (28.06.22) Rapper Kid Cudi, 38, took to social media to say he is praying for Barker.

    The 'Pursuit of Happiness' rapper tweeted: "Travis I love u and im prayin for u."

    Cudi and Barker have been friends for years and collaborated on the drummer's 2011 song 'Cool Head'.

    Travis' daughter Alabama Barker has also asked fans to "please send your prayers".

    It comes just over a month after the musician - who also has 18-year-old son Landon - and Kardashian got married in Portofino, Italy.

    They initially wed in May following practice nuptials in Las Vegas in March, before holding the third ceremony for family and friends in Italy.

    Barker was previously involved in an horrific plane crash in 2008, when he was one of two survivors, while four people died.
