Travis Barker is speaking out following his hospitalization and has shared chilling details about his recent health scare. The musician revealed that after going in for an endoscopy, he began feeling horrible. "After dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since," Barker tweeted on July 2. He added in another tweet, "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."

Barker's wife, Poosh founder Kourtney Kardashian, also thanked fans for their thoughts and prayers, revealing that their family had a "scary and emotional week," via People.
