He wrote on Instagram: “Just saw my oncologist and I’m cancer free!! Thank you God and universe and friends and family and everyone who sent support and kindness and love.
“Still have to get scanned every six months and it’ll take me until the end of the year to get back to normal but today is an amazing day and I feel so blessed.”
He added “Can I get a W in the chat?” a reference to video game streamers and how they declare victory online.

“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.”
Hoppus, who has a teenage son with wife Skye Everly, formed Blink-182 in Southern California in 1992.
They were one of the biggest bands of the 1990s, thanks to hits including What’s My Age Again? and All The Small Things.
