‘It sucks and I’m scared:’ Blink-182′s Mark Hoppus reveals cancer diagnosis

The lead singer of Blink-182, Mark Hoppus, revealed that has been diagnosed with cancer.

On Wednesday, Hoppus announced that for the last three months he had been undergoing for chemotherapy.

“I have cancer,” Hoppus wrote. “It sucks and I’m scared, and at the same time I’m blessed with incredible doctors and family and friends to get me through this. I still have months of treatment ahead of me but I’m trying to remain hopeful and positive. Can’t wait to be cancer free and see you all at a concert in the near future. Love to you all.”

Hoppus did not reveal where the cancer was located.

Hours before his statement, Hoppus posted and quickly deleted a photo of him at a doctor’s office.

“Yes hello. One cancer treatment please,” the Instagram story was captioned.

“You’re on our minds, Mark. Your attitude is going to be magnified by so many people,” wrote actor B.J. Novak in support of Hoppus on Twitter.”

“You’ve got this, brother,” added Wolf Van Halen along with three heart emoji.

Hoppus’ bandmate Travis Barker shared a photo of the two on Instagram with the caption, “Love you @markhoppus” with a heart emoji.
