Blink 182 bassist Mark Hoppus has spoken of how his cancer diagnosis made him question whether he wanted to live.
The 50-year-old revealed in 2021 that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma before announcing in September of the same year that he was cancer free. Looking back on the darkest times of his illness, Hoppus recalled crying in his living room as he told his wife Skye that he didn't know if he could fight the disease.
In a new interview with People, Hoppus spoke about the “dark” thoughts he had at the time, as well as trying to return to normal almost a year on from being given the all clear. In one emotional exchange, Hoppus explained how his wife asked him if he was going to kill himself and, although that had been on his mind, the blunt nature of the question helped him to snap out of his negative thoughts.
