Hoppus is the only remaining original member of Blink-182, which is currently comprised of vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba and drummer Travis Barker.
Mark Hoppus, the longtime bassist and vocalist for pop-punk band Blink-182, is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. The musician,49, has been going through treatment for the past three months, he revealed in a June 24 social media post. “I have cancer. 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,” Hoppus wrote, adding he still has “months of treatment ahead” but is “trying to remain hopeful and positive.” “Can’t wait to be cancer free and see you all at a concert in the near future,” he concluded. “Love you all.” “Love you @markhoppus,” his bandmate Travis Barker wrote on his Instagram story with a black heart emoji, sharing an old photo of the two hugging.
