sudo service mysql start

I got stuck with the same issue and I uninstalled and installed again by following the following commands:

1. sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client.

2. sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove.

3. sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client.
