Blink-182's Mark Hoppus reveals dark thought when he believed he 'wasn't going to make it' during cancer battle


The 53-year-old bassist and vocalist revealed that he had the dark realization that he had to 'mentally prepare' for his family to move on without him.

Blink-182's Mark Hoppus (pictured in Chicago in August 2024) got candid about his cancer battle as he revealed that he was not going to make it out alive as he appeared on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Hoppus, 53, recalled an encounter aboard an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf in the early 2000s - when the war in Iraq was heating up - where he allegedly provided his insights to an admiral. Whether his advice played a role in Hussein's capture remains a matter of speculation, but Hoppus' near unbelievable story certainly adds an unexpected chapter in his punk rock legacy.
