BLINK-182 singer and bassist Mark Hoppus has revealed that he is battling cancer.
The musician broke the news of his diagnosis by posting a photo of himself in what appears to be a doctor's office surrounded by medical equipment. He wrote in an accompanying caption: "Yes hello. One cancer treatment, please."
Although Hoppus has since deleted the post, concerened fans have been sharing screenshots on social media.
"Thought @markhoppus from my favourite band @blink182 had been quiet on here recently and just seen on his Instagram that he is fighting cancer. This really is the worst news. Stay strong Mark and hope to see you back on stage soon!" one fan wrote.
"My heart is actually breaking over mark hoppus having cancer. Wishing him all the love to get well soon!!!" another fan tweeted.
A third fan weighed in: "The news about Mark Hoppus having cancer is so so so incredibly sad and I truly hope that as the godfather of pop punk he brutally kicks its ass".
