The Favorite Mark Hoppus Songs (non-singles) Episode

<p>Hey there friends!</p> <p>Welcome to the show. This is Having A Blast. I am your host, Kyle Devlin.</p> <p>Normally on the show, I'm either discussing a particular album or band, or interviewing guests, but today is going to be a little different.</p> <p>I've been having a lot of conversations&nbsp;with friends about the recent announcement from Mark Hoppus that he is battling cancer.</p> <p>He first alluded to having the disease in a quickly deleted Instagram post from just shy of two weeks ago. It featured a photo from what appeared to be a hospital room where he looked to be undergoing treatment. The text on the picture said “Yes hello. One cancer treatment, please,”.</p> <p>Several hours later, he confirmed the diagnosis. “For the past three months I’ve been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer,” the bassist-singer wrote in a statement. “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.”</p> <p>The 49-year-old Hoppus did not announce what type of cancer he is battling, but shared his optimism that he would beat it.</p> <p>“I still have months of treatment ahead of me but I’m trying to remain hopeful and positive,” Hoppus added. “Can’t wait to be cancer free and see you all at a concert in the near future. Love to you all.”</p> <p>Blink-182’s Travis Barker said of his bandmate’s cancer battle in a statement “Mark is my brother and I love and support him. I will be with him every step of the way on stage and off and can’t wait for us to play together again soon.”</p> <p>Tom echoed this sentiment with a post of his own:&nbsp;I too, have been aware of Mark’s cancer diagnosis for awhile now. And to add to his own words that he used today, I would also like to say that he is strong, and a super-human who is pushing through this difficult obstacle with a wide-open heart. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WeHaveHisBack?src=hashtag_click">#WeHaveHisBack</a></p> <p>-----</p> <p>In this episode, I give my favorite six Mark
