Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker was happy to be surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday (Oct. 6) when he shared a pair of snaps from a hospital in what appeared to be a pre-op situation. In his Instagram Story, Barker, wearing a blue surgical hat, hospital gown and a blood pressure monitor, stared at the camera in a selfie in which daughter Alabama Barker was seen chatting on the phone in the background.

“My baby girl came with me,” he wrote in the caption. At press time, a spokesperson for Barker, 50, could not be reached for comment on why the pop-punk veteran was in the hospital and Barker had not provided any additional information on the reason for his apparent OR visit.
In a second slide, Barker, resting on a gurney, gets a sweet kiss from wife Kourtney Kardashian, with the caption reading, “and my beautiful wife by my side.” Kardashian also shared their bedside smooch on her Story, also without any commentary on the reason for the hospital visit.
The series included a clip of the couple’s three-year-old son Rocky, waddling around inside a blow-up dinosaur costume to the strains of the Jurassic Park theme, as well as some footage of Barker hopping into a drumline at last weekend’s ComplexCon at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Blink are currently on a break from the road, but plan to return next year with a run of European festival dates in June at Rock For People in Czechia, Rock im Park, Rock am Ring and Waldbühne in Germany, as well as I-Days IPPODROMO SNAI SAN SIRO in Italy and Plentitude Arena in Paris on June 15.
The band’s most recent album, their ninth, One More Time …, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
