Watch: Travis Barker Reveals Reason Behind Hospitalization in Photo With Kourtney Kardashian
Travis Barker attending son Landon Barker‘s birthday party was no small thing given his recent hospitalization.
The Blink-182 rocker stepped out with wife Kourtney Kardashian for Landon’s “Vampire Ball” 23rd birthday party Oct. 10 days after having surgery to give him a cubital tunnel release.
For the outing, Travis and Kourtney were dressed in theme as vampires for the spooky celebration, with Kourtney rocking lacy black lingerie and Travis wearing a dark red velvet jacket, as seen in photos shared on Instagram from the celebration by Kourtney and Landon. Both Kourtney and Travis, who share son Rocky, 2, added fake blood dripping from their mouths for a finishing touch.
Landon playfully alluded to Blink-182’s hit “What’s My Age Again?” in the caption of his Instagram post, writing, “Nobody likes you when you’re 23,” and Travis commented on the post, “Love you forever.”
The 50-year-old’s appearance at his son’s birthday party was his first after his Oct. 6 surgery to fix a nerve.
“I had surgery yesterday,” Travis captioned a selfie with Kourtney taken from a hospital bed that he shared to his Instagram Stories Oct. 7. “My arm, hand and fingers have been numb since a show I played last month. I did a nerve test Monday after my show and turns out I needed a cubital tunnel release to fix the nerve.”
The cubital tunnel is a narrow passageway of muscle, bone and ligament located on the inside of the elbow through which the ulnar nerve passes, according to Johns Hopkins.

And for the “All The Small Things” hitmaker—also dad to daughter Alabama, 20, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 27, with ex Shanna Moakler—getting the surgery was important for the future of his career.
“I wanted to get ahead of it and get it over with so that I can keep playing the way I play for a long long time,” Travis explained. “Should be good in a few weeks.”

He went on to make a joke about his hospital photo with Kourtney quipping about her smile, “Not sure why my wife looks so happy about this.”
