    Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 sat down with People.com:

    ”Today I’m doing good. The recovery is taking a lot longer than I had hoped, but I am in a much better place,” says Hoppus. “I feel like I have a second shot at life.”

    Adds Skye, also 50: “He’s a rock. He rose above and got through it…The last couple years threw a lot of wrenches in our system, but we’re on the other side of it even stronger.”

    Since doctors gave him the all-clear, Hoppus has been getting back to work. He’s writing a book, launched the record company Verswire and is hosting his radio show on Apple Music.

    Mark seems like such a great human.

    There was a fantastic documentary a decade ago about punk rock‘s fathers called “The F Word” I would highly recommend everybody watch. You can tell how much he likes being a dad even then and how he had a great marriage. That is super rare in life and even more rare in the music industry.

    That doc was so well done. Jim from Pennywise is the central figure in the doc, but there are a lot of awesome musicians who show there is more to life than just music.
