Blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus is keeping positive, despite all of the difficulties he’s faced in the last year, including his battle with cancer. The rocker recently took to his social media account to reflect on his cancer treatment, saying that he has “so much to be thankful for” during the Thanksgiving holiday. Here’s what you need to know.
Hoppus revealed back in June that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, but in September told his fans that he was free of cancer after spending several months in chemotherapy. He also posted a selfie of himself taken earlier this year during his treatment, in which he is crouched next to a toilet and has lost his hair.

He put it this way, “I have so much to be thankful for today. This photo is from June, halfway through chemo, no idea if it was working or not, relegated to the bathroom floor, retching. If I ever complain about something trivial or unimportant, please show me this photo to remind me of how bad things can be, and how truly blessed I am.”
Hoppus, who has a teenage son with wife Skye Everly, formed Blink-182 in Southern California in 1992. They were one of the biggest bands of the 1990s, thanks to hits including What’s My Age Again? and All The Small Things.
Alex Gaskarth of the band All Time Low, actor Adam Devine and bandmate Travis Barker are among the famous friends who have been posting supportive messages during his treatment.
