Mark Hoppus, leader of Blink-182, considered suicide when he was told he had cancer. At the time, he didn’t know if he had the strength to triumph.
The 50-year-old received a rather tough diagnosis in June 2021, when his cancer was stage 4 (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma).
His wife eventually implored him to fight, and she’s been behind him through all the rounds Hoppus has gone through.
The Blink-182 co-founder has been in remission since last September, proving that this fight was worth it.
While we’re on the subject of pop-punk band, Hoppus also opened up about his close friendship with former band member Tom DeLonge.
The two old pals reconnected, and then at Travis Barker‘s wedding, the trio had a blast reuniting, proving that rumors of a DeLonge comeback are actually possible.
“It was the first time the three of us had been in the same room in five years. It was actually better than before (…). There were no grudges (…) three friends sitting in a room,” he said, according to People.
The bassist actually posted an old photo of the trio on his Instagram account six weeks ago.
