‘I most wanted to get back out into the studio and get back to playing music, and get off of my couch,’ he said with a big beaming smile on his face.
When asked if he had new music to release, he shot back, ‘Hopefully soon. We’ll see if I can write something happy this time.’
The photographer then asked him if he any lessons to share with the rest of us: ‘Enjoy each and every day.’

Fight for life: The musician’s health scare began back in April 2021, when he was diagnosed with stage four diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which was followed by chemotherapy treatments that resulted in him losing his hair
His health scare began back in April 2021, when he was diagnosed with stage four diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which is one of the most common subtypes of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
The California native, 50, went public with his cancer diagnosis in a June 23 tweet, saying, ‘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.’
Occasionally giving his fans updates, he would open up more about his treatments during a Twitch livestream in July, where he vowed to be focused on ‘beating this cancer.’
And that’s exactly what happened after losing his hair during chemotherapy treatments in the proceeding months.
‘Cancer free’: Hoppus first revealed that he was in remission and ‘cancer free’ last September; the rocker is pictured with his wife of 22 years and their son Jack
By late September, Hoppus shared he was remission.
‘Just saw my oncologist and I’m cancer free!!” he wrote, adding, ‘Thank you God and universe and friends and family and everyone who sent support and kindness and love.’
He went on to share that he needed to get ‘scanned every six months’ as part of his ongoing treatment. With that time frame in mind, it’s likely he got another ‘cancer free’ result in late March or early April.
This past January, Hoppus revealed to his band’s legion of fans that he was finally back in the music ‘mindset.’
‘Just want to say that I’m very grateful to be back in the mindset of “Oh! That’s a cool idea for a song lyric, I should write that down.” I haven’t felt that in eight months,’ he wrote at the time, alongside a hand prayer emoji.
