The 49-year-old musician also posted a photo of himself on his Instagram story in which he can be seen sitting in a chair and openly clapping his hands with IV.

“Yes, hello. Cancer treatment, please,” he wrote next to the photo.

Tom Delong, co-founder of the band, said he was aware of Mark Hobbes’ diagnosis of cancer and offered his support.

“To add to his own words that he used today, I would like to say that he is strong and an inhumane person who overcomes this difficult obstacle with a very open mind,” Delong said in a tweet.

The rock band Blink-182 was formed in 1992 and became a commercial success in 1999 with the album “State of Enema”. His latest album “Nine” was released in 2019.
