Travis Barker had his family by his side for a trip to the hospital.
Travis Barker's hospital stay
The Blink-182 drummer, 50, took to his Instagram page with a pair of selfies from a hospital bed, wearing a surgical cap and robe, with wires, an IV drip, and a blood pressure sleeve connected to him.

And in another snap, captured by Alabama, he was shown kissing his wife Kourtney Kardashian Barker. "And my beautiful wife by my side," he captioned the other with Kourtney, 47.
The musician didn't explain the reason for his hospital visit, following up the photos instead with a video of his and Kourtney's son Rocky 13 Barker riding around in a dinosaur costume in their home. Rocky is the couple's youngest child, welcomed in 2023 after a year of marriage.

With his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, Travis welcomed his daughter Alabama and his son Landon Barker, 22. He is also extremely close still with his former stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 27, Shanna's daughter with her ex Oscar De La Hoya. Atiana has frequently made appearances on The Kardashians as "Travis' daughter."
Kourtney, meanwhile, shares three kids with her on-and-off ex Scott Disick. The pair welcomed son Mason Disick in December 2009, followed by their daughter Penelope Disick in July 2012, and then Reign Disick in December 2014, the latter born on Mason's fifth birthday.

Over the past two decades, health has been of tantamount importance to the rocker, especially following the 2008 plane crash he was involved in, which resulted in the deaths of four of the six people on board.
It not only inspired Travis to go on a more deliberate fitness journey, but also embrace sobriety and mindfulness practices. "That's why I train and that's why I run and that's why I box and that is why I do the things I do. Because I want to be able to play the way I want to play," he told The New York Times previously.

"I didn't know exactly how to navigate after my accident — talked to a post-traumatic doctor, got sober, would run, would exercise, do all this stuff that I just felt was calling me," he explained.
His massage therapist and one particularly insistent fan recommended breath work, which the musician was initially skeptical of. "10 minutes into it, I'm bawling my eyes out. I'm like, a mess. And it's like that the next five sessions," he shared.

Just tell me the night before. So she did, I did breath work the night before, ended up flying. Luckily I had a great experience."
