Travis Barker has been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles, with his family asking fans to “send their prayers”.

Barker, 46, drummer of Blink-182, was admitted to West Hills Hospital and Medical Centre on Tuesday at around 10.45am, and was later rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre for further care. His condition is currently unknown.

Pictures show Barker being wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher, accompanied by his new wife Kourtney Kardashian.

While Kardashian has not made any public comment about her husband’s condition, the drummer’s daughter, Alabama Barker, 16, posted an Instagram story saying “please send your prayers” alongside a worried face emoji.

The drummer tweeted “God save me” earlier in the day. However, fans have suspected that could be unrelated to his medical condition, as it is the name of a song by close friend Machine Gun Kelly.

Barker married Kardashian the spring and celebrated with ceremonies in Las Vegas, Santa Barbara and Portofino in Italy.

The Italian nuptials were attended by the couple's famous families and friends. The bride's sisters, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie all in attendance, as was Kris Jenner (their mother). Barker's children, Alabama and Landon, 18, were also there.

Representatives for Barker and Kardashian have not commented on his condition.
