Blink-182 rocker now cancer-free
It’s win for Mark Hoppus, the Blink-182 singer and bassist, who announced Wednesday that he’s officially cancer-free. The Simple Creatures musician took to social media to share the good news. In August, he completed five months of chemotherapy for Stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and was awaiting results of Wednesday’s scan to determine how his care would proceed. “Just saw my oncologist and I’m cancer free!!” he wrote on his Instagram stories. “Thank you God and universe and friends and family and everyone who sent support and kindness and love.” Hoppus, 49, added that he’ll still be monitored with scans every six months to evaluate the cancer cells’ spread.
