The American rapper and singer, Travis Barker was hospitalized on June 28 in Los Angeles, reported Page Six. The pancreatic drainage tube of the 46-year-old drummer was injured during a routine endoscopy, he said in a health update posted on his official Instagram. Post his recovery, Barker expressed his appreciation for having started to recuperate.
He took to his Instagram story and wrote, "I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since. During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp [a tissue growth] 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." Kourtney Kardashian Adds Husband Travis Barker’s Last Name On Instagram After The Lavish Italian Wedding.
