Mark Hoppus is sharing the first photo of himself following his cancer announcement.

One month after revealing his diagnosis, the Blink-182 bassist and soloist shared a photo of his bald head Sunday.

"The Cancer Haver wishes you all a very happy Fourth of July weekend," he captioned the Instagram picture of himself smiling.

One day later, he took to Twitter to ask his followers for fashion advice regarding his new hairless look.

"Even though I can’t really go anywhere or see people I’d like a cool guy hat to cover my giant bald head. Any suggestions of brands to check out?" he quipped.

In June, Hoppus confirmed in a social media post that he had been diagnosed with cancer and has been undergoing treatment for the last three months.

"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," Hoppus wrote on June 24, adding he still has "months of treatment ahead" but is "trying to remain hopeful and positive."

"Can't wait to be cancer free and see you all at a concert in the near future," he concluded. "Love you all."

On June 30, Hoppus provided an update on his health while dropping into a game of online Bingo on Twitch.

“How am I feeling today? I feel much better than yesterday,” Hoppus said. “Yesterday was hellish for me and I woke up today feeling better. I went for a walk, and I had a decent breakfast, and I haven’t felt like I was going to throw up today, so we’ll take it as a win.”

Hoppus is the only remaining original member of Blink-182, which is currently comprised of vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba and drummer Travis Barker. The group, which rose to stardom in the '90s as a key player in developing the pop-punk genre, is best known for hits including "What's My Age Again?," "First Date," "All The Small Things," and "Adam's Song."
