Drummer Travis Barker was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday, TMZ reported. The details about his condition or what led to his hospitalisation have not been revealed yet.
Photos circulating on social media show the Blink 182 drummer lying on a stretcher outside the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre with wife Kourtney Kardashian following him.
Mr Barker’s last tweet before hospitalisation is also going viral in which he said “God save me.” However, some users pointed out that it could be related to his upcoming song with Machine Gun Kelly since it has been titled the same.
No statement has been released by Mr Barker or his wife’s teams.
Mr Barker’s daughter Alabama, meanwhile, has asked fans to pray for him. “Please send your prayers,” the 16-year-old posted on her Instagram Story minutes after news of the musician’s hospitalisation broke.
She quickly deleted the story, but her followers took screenshots and posted those on social media.
The health scare comes just a month after the two got married in Portofino, Italy, surrounded by their closest friends and family members.
For the intimate occasion, the bride sported a stunning Dolce & Gabbana mini dress with a massive cathedral veil. She completed the look with a glam makeup and a fresh baby pink manicure.
Barker looked handsome in his custom black suit, which he had teased via his Instagram stories ahead of the ceremony.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker got engaged in October 2021. Then, in April, the two had a practice wedding at One Love Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. The wedding was not legally binding and it took place after the couple attended the 2022 Grammy Awards.
Kourtney Kardashian was in a relationship with Scott Disick. The two have three kids. Travis Barker was earlier married to actress Melissa Kennedy. He also has two children with model Shanna Moakler.

Top Stories WorldPolice arrest two Muslim men for allegedly beheading the tailor on camera over his post supporting ex-BJP official’s comments on the Prophet Muhammad.
Two Muslim men have been arrested in India’s Udaipur city in the western state of Rajasthan for allegedly beheading a Hindu tailor over his support online for a former ruling party official whose remarks about Prophet Muhammad sparked global protests.
Mobile internet services and large gatherings remained restricted in Udaipur on Wednesday, a day after the two men killed the Hindu man, Kanhaiya Lal.
Lal was stabbed multiple times inside his tailoring shop on Tuesday by the two cleaver-wielding men who also filmed the attack. The duo accused Lal of blasphemy in the video.
The two men later claimed responsibility for the killing in another video and allegedly threatened to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the same manner.
TV reports aired video of Lal lying on the ground with his throat slit. Police said both accused were arrested within hours of the incident.
“Both the accused in the killing have been arrested and we will ensure strict punishment and speedy justice,” Ashok Gehlot, chief minister of Rajasthan, said on Twitter.
Gehlot appealed to people to stay calm and not share the video as it would “serve the attackers’ motive of creating discord in society”.
Asaduddin Owaisi, a member of parliament, condemned the “horrible” murder.
“One cannot take law in their own hands. It is a horrible thing to do. It’s inhuman,” he told Al Jazeera.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, a Muslim religious organisation, said the Udaipur incident is “barbaric, uncivilised and there is no room for justification of violence in Islam”.
“We strongly condemn it. No citizen should take law in his own hands. Let the law prevail,” the organisation posted on Twitter.
Authorities rushed additional police into Udaipur on Tuesday to counter any religious unrest.
India’s home ministry has dispatched a team of its anti-terror agency to Rajasthan to investigate whether the killing had any links to terrorist groups. So far, the state police have not charged the two arrested men with terrorism.
In 2017, a Hindu man in Rajasthan brutally killed a Muslim labourer in a religious attack and shared a video of the victim being hacked to death and then set on fire.
According to local media, Lal had shared a social media post 10 days ago supporting Nupur Sharma, the suspended spokeswoman for Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who made controversial remarks on the Prophet Muhammad and his wife Aisha on a TV show in May.
Another BJP official, Naveen Kumar Jindal, supported Sharma’s statements and made more anti-Islam remarks in his tweets, sparking a furore in India and many Muslim nations.
The BJP, in damage control mode, suspended Sharma, expelled Jindal and issued a rare statement, saying it “respects all religions”.
The controversy led to nationwide protests in India which turned violent in some places. At least two people were killed and many houses of Muslims were bulldozed.

Football SportsThe United States women’s national soccer team made hard work out of its 2-0 friendly win over Colombia at Rio Tinto Stadium on Tuesday that included an hourlong delay due to lightning and severe weather in Sandy, Utah.
Vlatko Andonovski’s side had already beaten Colombia 3-0 on Saturday and was playing its last warm-up match ahead of the CONCACAF W Championship in Monterrey, Mexico, where spots in the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and the 2024 Olympics in Paris are on the line.

Among the starters for the Americans was Carson Pickett, who became the first player to take the field for the women’s national team with a limb difference, according to U.S. Soccer. The North Carolina Courage defender was born without part of her left arm.
In the 23rd minute, Sofia Huerta’s cross from the right flank was redirected past Colombia keeper Catalina Perez by Manuela Vanegas for an own goal and a deserved lead for the Americans after dominating play in the early stages of the match.
Despite the U.S. spending the majority of the first half in Colombia’s defensive third, Perez kept her team in the game with a mix of saves and disruptive play in goal to keep the deficit at one going into the break.
American keeper Alyssa Naeher, who suffered a knee injury in last summer’s Olympics, made a stellar save in the 55th minute to keep the U.S. in front, laying out and tipping Leicy Santos’ goalbound shot from outside of the penalty area wide of the far post.
Shortly after the hour mark, Andonovski brought on Mallory Pugh for Megan Rapinoe and Taylor Kornieck for Rose Lavelle, as he continued to spread around minutes and playing time ahead of a packed qualifying schedule in July. Trinity Rodman and Kristie Mewis had already come off the bench at the start of the second half.
Just after the 75th minute, the teams were taken off the field due to lightning and severe weather in the area, giving both sides a chance to reset for the final quarter hour.
The break paid off for the U.S., which came back to the field after the nearly hourlong delay and immediately doubled the lead when substitute Kelley O’Hara lashed a first-time volley past Perez to put the Americans up 2-0.
The U.S., which is now unbeaten in 69 straight games on home soil, will play Mexico, Jamaica and Haiti in Group A at the CONCACAF W Championship, which begins on July 4, while Canada, Costa Rica, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago will face off in Group B.
The top two teams in each group earn CONCACAF spots in the 2023 World Cup, and the winner of the event will get an automatic berth for the 2024 Olympics.

CHANDIGARH: After days of extremely hot and humid weather, Delhi is likely to get showers between June 30 and July 1, marking the official arrival of southwest monsoon in the city, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.
Senior IMD scientist R K Jenamani said in the next 48 hours, conditions will remain favourable for further advance of the southwest monsoon into remaining parts of Arabian Sea and Gujarat, after which it will reach parts of northwest and central India.
“The favourable conditions will reach parts of Rajasthan, remaining parts of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir; some parts of Punjab, Haryana and Delhi between June 30 and July 1,” said Jenamani.
The usual date for onset of monsoon in Delhi is June 27. “It is slightly behind schedule, but will cover the rain deficit for June by the first week of July,” Jenamani said. Last year, Delhi saw the most delayed monsoon in 19 years, arriving only by July 13.
The IMD has issued an ‘Orange’ alert for light to moderate rain, thunderstorm and gusty winds up to 30-40 kmph while a ‘Yellow’ alert has been issued for July 1. Delhi’s heat index (how hot you actually feel) has been high over the past three days, making people sweat profusely and uncomfortable. Officials attributed this to humidity.
Mercury above normal
On Tuesday, Safdarjung, Delhi’s base weather station, saw a maximum temperature of 41.5 degree Celsius, four notches above normal for this time of the year. The minimum settled at 30.8 degrees Celsius, three degrees above normal. Relative humidity levels oscillated between 45 per cent and 74 per cent, as per IMD.

LONDON — Serena Williams, playing her first competitive singles match in 364 days, was handed another devastating early exit at Wimbledon with a 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) loss to Harmony Tan on Tuesday that took more than three hours and a 10-point third-set tiebreak to decide.
“Today I gave all I could do, you know, today,” a dejected Williams told a packed room of reporters after the match. “Maybe tomorrow I could have gave more. Maybe a week ago I could have gave more. But today was what I could do.
“At some point, you have to be able to be OK with that. And that’s all I can do. I can’t change time or anything, so, that’s all I could do on this particular day.”
Playing Tan — who is ranked No. 115 and was making her main draw debut at the tournament — in front of an adoring crowd on Centre Court, Williams simultaneously showed signs of rust alongside glimpses of her signature brilliance.
When it was over, both players were given a standing ovation from those in the stands. The 40-year-old Williams, the owner of 23 Grand Slam singles titles, waved several times as she walked off the court and twirled before disappearing in the exit. There has been much speculation as to Williams’ retirement, and she didn’t do much to dispel such speculation after Tuesday’s match, giving vague answers to multiple questions about her future.
“That’s a question I can’t answer,” Williams said after the loss. “Like, I don’t know. I feel like, you know, I don’t know. Who knows? Who knows where I’ll pop up.”
Williams hadn’t played competitively at singles since being forced to retire from her first-round match at the All England Club in 2021 due to what she later revealed to be a torn hamstring. While she had initially hoped to return in time for the US Open last year, the recovery was far lengthier than she had anticipated, and she took a break to give herself time to heal.
But she couldn’t escape the lingering disappointment of her 2021 Wimbledon exit.
“It was a lot of motivation, to be honest,” Williams said before this tournament got underway. “It was always something since the match ended that was always on my mind. So it was a tremendous amount of motivation for that.”
She decided in the spring to make a return to the All England Club, after a whirlwind year full of recovery and off-the-court interests and pursuits. She began her competitive comeback last week in doubles at Eastbourne, alongside Ons Jabeur, to great fanfare. The two reached the semifinals before they were forced to withdraw due to a knee injury for Jabeur, but Williams still believed she had gotten some valuable match experience.
Still, Williams needed the first several games of Tuesday’s match against Tan to rediscover her form, and her early play was riddled with errors.
“I had some chances to win that first set,” Williams said. “You know, [it] didn’t work out, so … yeah, it was just, yeah, different, totally different for me.”
But as she has done countless times throughout her career, Williams fought back with a dominant performance in the second set, including winning a marathon 30-point second game.
She looked to be in control in the third, holding a 3-1 lead, but Tan came back to win the next three games. From there, it was a battle in which the crowd seemed to live and breathe with every point, and both players reacted emphatically throughout.
It reached a fever pitch when Williams saved match point at 5-6 to ultimately force a deciding tiebreak.
In the first-to-10 tiebreak, Williams jumped out to a 4-0 lead. However, in the final moments, it slipped out of her control, and Tan dominated.
“I think the last couple points, I was really suffering there,” said Williams, who lost 16 of the 24 rallies in the match that lasted nine or more strokes. “But, yeah, I feel like in just those key points, winning some of those points, is always something mentally that you have to have, that you kind of need. I did pretty good on maybe one or two of ’em, but obviously not enough.”
If this is the end for Williams, it will mark the conclusion of one of the greatest careers in the sport. With 23 major titles, including seven at the All England Club, Williams has the most ever by any player in the Open Era. She has been seeking to tie Margaret Court’s long-standing record of 24, the most in history, since returning from childbirth in 2018. Since then, Williams has played in four finals in those 14 majors, including at Wimbledon in 2018 and 2019, but has fallen short each time.
Williams didn’t completely rule out an appearance at the US Open later this summer, however.
“When you’re at home, especially in New York, and the US Open, that being the first place I’ve won a Grand Slam, is something that’s always super special,” Williams said. “Your first time is always special.
“There’s definitely, you know, lots of motivation to get better and to play at home.”
Tan’s future is a little more clear. The 24-year-old French player now gets the chance to compete in just her third round of 64 at a Grand Slam on Thursday against No. 32 seed Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain. But Tan didn’t seem ready to start thinking about that just yet after Tuesday’s win.
“It’s a dream because, you know, I saw Serena on the TV when I was young,” Tan said. “My coach, Nathalie Tauziat, played her 20 years ago.
“She’s a legend. I mean, she won 23 Grand Slams. When you play her, I was scared. I mean, I was scared when I was on the court but really happy to be there.”

The New York Knicks traded center Nerlens Noel and guard Alec Burks to the Detroit Pistons — clearing $19 million in additional salary-cap space — and they are now able to make an overwhelming contract offer in the neighborhood of $110 million to free-agent guard Jalen Brunson, sources told ESPN.
The Knicks included two future second-round picks and $6 million to incentivize the trade, sources said, and they now have approximately $30 million in cap space to make a massive four-year offer to Brunson. The offloading of players and assets to create the space clearly reflects the Knicks’ confidence they can reach an agreement with Brunson sometime after the opening of free agency.
Brunson, 25, is coming off a breakout season in which he averaged 16.3 points and 4.8 assists, establishing himself as the Dallas Mavericks‘ No. 2 option behind All-NBA guard Luka Doncic, his 2018 draft classmate, after joining the starting lineup on a full-time basis in December.
Brunson helped lead the Mavericks to the Western Conference finals for the first time in 11 years, averaging 21.6 points during the playoffs, highlighted by 41- and 31-point performances in first-round victories over the Utah Jazz while Doncic was sidelined by a strained calf.
Mavs governor Mark Cuban and general manager Nico Harrison ranked Brunson as the franchise’s top offseason priority in the wake of the playoff run. Sources said the Mavs are willing to give Brunson a five-year contract — which only Dallas can offer due to owning his Bird rights — that is comparable to the four-year, $85 million deal that guard Fred VanVleet signed with the Toronto Raptors in 2020.
Brunson, an unrestricted free agent because the fourth season of his rookie deal was non-guaranteed instead of a team option, declined the Mavs’ offer of a four-year, $55.5 million contract extension after the trade deadline, when Dallas forward Dorian Finney-Smith signed an identical deal. By that point, Brunson was confident he would make significantly more as a free agent.
Brunson had informed the Mavs in January that he was willing to sign the extension if it was offered then, his father, Rick Brunson, told ESPN during the playoffs. Dallas made the calculated decision to hold off on discussions until after the trade deadline, in case the Mavs had the opportunity to trade for a star, as an extension would have prevented Brunson from being eligible to be traded before the deadline.
New York had long been expected to emerge as a threat to lure Brunson from the Mavericks in large part because of the Knicks’ deep ties to the Brunson family. Knicks president Leon Rose, a prominent former agent, has known Brunson his entire life. Rose’s first player client was Rick Brunson, and Rose represented Jalen Brunson at the beginning of his career. The Knicks agreed to hire Rick Brunson as an assistant coach this summer, reuniting him with head coach Tom Thibodeau, under whom he served as an assistant with the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Knicks also can offer Brunson the opportunity to be their primary playmaker, as opposed to deferring to a perennial MVP candidate in Dallas.
“It’s a great fit [in Dallas], but at the end of the day, my son is no different than the next man,” Rick Brunson told ESPN in April. “You try to raise them the right way in terms of understanding the game, but everyone wants what Luka has. I don’t care who you are. Everyone wants that feeling of, ‘Hey, I can do this too.’ I don’t always think the grass is greener on the other side, but we’ll sit down this summer and go through all the pros and cons of staying here or going somewhere else.”

SportsKali Reis, the WBA and WBO junior welterweight champion, is again heading to Hollywood, cast as one of the leads in Season 4 of “True Detective” on HBO opposite two-time Best Actress Oscar-winner Jodie Foster.
The cable network announced the fourth season of the show, which will be officially called “True Detective: Night Country” and will be filmed in Iceland.
Reis will play Detective Evangeline Navarro alongside Foster’s Detective Liz Danvers as they investigate the disappearance of six men in Ennis, Alaska.
“True Detective” is an anthology crime series that was nominated for seven Emmy Awards in its first season, when Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey were the lead actors. Both Harrelson and McConaughey are executive producers on the show. Issa Lopez is writer, director and showrunner, and Barry Jenkins, who directed and wrote the Oscar-winning film “Moonlight,” is also an executive producer.
This is another big role for Reis, who made her acting debut in the 2021 independent film “Catch the Fair One,” a story she helped write and develop. “Catch the Fair One” won the Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, and Reis was nominated for Best Female Lead at the Independent Spirit Awards.
The 35-year-old Reis (19-7-1, 5 KOs) last fought Nov. 19, 2021, when she beat Jessica Camara by split decision to win the WBO title and retain the WBA title. Reis initially won the WBA title on Nov. 6, 2020, when she beat Kandi Wyatt by unanimous decision.
Reis has won her past six fights after losing to Cecilia Braekhus by unanimous decision for the undisputed welterweight title in 2018. Reis has been boxing professionally since 2008.
