"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," Barker wrote Saturday.

In the brief note, the musician said he has been in the hospital since the procedure but he was feeling better. "I am so very very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better," he added. Kardashian, 43, also shared messages on her Instagram Stories on Saturday detailing the ordeal.
