Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker has been rushed to the hospital. As reported by TMZ, Barker arrived at West Hills hospital Tuesday morning (June 28th) regarding some health issues he was dealing with. However, the Blink 182 drummer apparently needed additional medical attention, and eventually was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
At the time of this writing, there is no official confirmation as to what is going on with Travis Barker or why he was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. In a picture shared by TMZ, one can see Barker’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian, walking behind Barker (with Travis being pulled away via a stretcher). Kourtney is with him at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
On Tuesday morning, the day Barker arrived at West Hills hospital, he tweet’d out “God Save Me”; while this could be taken as startling at first, it is worth noting that “God Save Me” is also the title of a Machine Gun Kelly song (Travis Barker worked on MGK’s latest album, Mainstream Sellout).

That said, Barker’s daughter, Alabama Barker, took to her Instagram Tuesday night, asking for fans of her dad to send out prayers. This message came via an Instagram story (you can find a screenshot of that message below):
Again, there is no confirmation as to what is going on with the Blink 182 drummer. We are thinking of Travis and his family during this difficult time. More on this story as it develops.
Blink-182 was formed in 1992 and has become one of the defining acts of that decade (and easily one of the most important bands in all of pop punk). The band released their first studio album, Cheshire Cat, in 1995; their latest record is that of 2019’s Nine. The band have released a total of eight albums.
