    The full Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 profile for GQ is now online:

    The diagnosis had prompted him to revisit other things too. When we initially spoke in September, he told me that he’d recently been going back over old Blink tracks—songs he’d played thousands of times—discovering that they’ve suddenly taken on new meaning. Of note was “Adam’s Song,” a somber number that Hoppus wrote in his 20s, from the imagined perspective of someone who felt suicidal but ultimately made the decision to carry on the hard work of living. “I’ve had a lot of thoughts about my own mortality, a lot of thoughts about what happens when I’m gone,” he said. “And so I’ve been listening to ‘Adam’s Song,’ thinking, Yeah, tomorrow holds such better days.”

    Great article. Hats off to the journalist and it’s nice to hear the three of them have reconnected like they have. I want to see a proper blink reunion, either the 3 or 4 of them but for a band that means so much, it’s just good to know they’re good.

    I'm so happy he beat it. Cancer and the treatment sure did age him though. It's sad.

    In all fairness, he's always looked boyishly young and he still looks better than most 49 year olds!
