The pancreas is an organ that’s located behind the stomach and helps with digesting food, and some of the most common symptoms people experience include severe pain in the abdomen area, feeling nauseous, and coming down with a soaringly high fever.

While it’s unclear what the 46-year-old rockstar was experiencing before being taken to the hospital, the aforementioned publication claims that doctors believe it had something to do with a colonoscopy Travis had recently undergone.

Sources say that it was the Poosh founder who took her husband to the hospital in West Hills, California, early Tuesday before he was transferred over to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by an ambulance.
