Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus revealed via social media that he’s battling cancer.

In a brief statement, Hoppus said, “For the past three months, I’ve been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. I have cancer. It sucks and I’m scared, and at the same time I’m blessed with incredible doctors and family and friends to get me through this.”

He added, “I still have months of treatment ahead of me, but I’m trying to remain hopeful and positive. Can’t wait to be cancer-free and see you all at a concert in the near future. Love to you all.”

The bassist/vocalist didn’t offer any additional details regarding his cancer diagnosis aside from the statement above.

We send our support and thoughts to Hoppus during his cancer treatment.
