Early this morning, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles.

While it’s unclear what’s happening, Barker posted what many read as an alarming message on Twitter — “God save me.”

The musician’s daughter, Alabama, posted a request to her Instagram story, asking her followers to “please send your prayers.”

Unfortunately for the Barker family, this isn’t the first time he would be rushed to the hospital.

In 2008, Barker survived a deadly plane crash that killed four of the six people on board. In an interview with Men’s Health, he said the crash put him in the hospital with third-degree burns on 65% of his body. He also suffered blood clots, staph infection and cellulitis — a bacterial infection that causes swelling, inflammation and pain.

While his newest trip to the hospital has not been linked to his previous injuries and or infections, Barker’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian, is by his side. The two wed earlier this year in Italy in a goth-inspired wedding after they legally wed at a California court house.
