Kourtney Kardashian’s rocker husband Travis Barker has revealed his shock health scare.
The Blink-182 drummer, 50, made an appearance on the Big Bro with Kid Cudi podcast when he revealed he quit smoking after being diagnosed with precancer of the oesophagus.
He said his doctor gave him a stern word over his smoking habit and it scared him into quitting.
“I only quit because I got diagnosed with precancer of the oesophagus. I loved blunts and I would smoke too much,” he admitted during the podcast interview.
“[His doctor] He’s like, ‘This is your warning shot, Trav. Don’t f*** around. You’ve got to stop smoking,’” Barker added.
Barker was previously married to Melissa Kennedy and his more recent ex-wife, Shanna Moakler.
He married now-wife Kourtney Kardashian Barker, 47, in 2022, with an official wedding in California and another lavish wedding in Italy’s Portofino, in 2022.
Kardashian Barker’s late father, attorney Robert Kardashian, died in 2003 at the age of 59 after a battle with oesophageal cancer.
Causes of oesophageal cancer can include smoking tobacco, obesity, and diet.
Just last month, Kourtney’s sister Kim Kardashian revealed on their family’s reality tv show that she had surgery and had irregularities removed from her oesophagus.
“I’ve been feeling a little off lately. My throat is like killing me today,” she said on the show, shortly after being diagnosed with oesophagitis, or inflammation of the oesophagus.
Doctors also reportedly found a hiatal hernia.
“It’s something I always have to be aware of and watch and that in itself is scary and triggering,” Kim says to camera about her health scare.
“But it’s also life. I’m gonna be as proactive as possible.”
