Blink-182’s Hoppus celebrates his health

-

Mark Hoppus is thankful for all the small things.

The Blink-182 bassist, who announced in September that he was in remission from stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, is blessed to be in Italy with his wife to celebrate the wedding of bandmate Travis Barker to Kourtney Kardashian, he said Saturday.

“A year ago I was in chemothera­py,” he wrote in an Instagram story. “Today I’m here. Grateful.”

Along with the inspiratio­nal message was a photo of the happy couple, Hoppus, 50, in a black polo shirt and slacks and wife Skye, 49, in a green suit and black crop top.

The Grammy-nominated musician announced his diagnosis in June, revealing that he had spent the past three months in chemothera­py.

In September, he announced that he was cancer-free after getting the all-clear from his oncologist.
