Blink 182 To Re-form?
Bassist Mark Hoppus has announced the pop punk trio have been hanging out recently and that a Blink reunion isn’t entirely out of the question.
It seems Travis Barker’s horrific plane crash has caused the former Blink 182 members to bury the hatchet. The three members of one of the most successful American punk bands ever have been hanging out recently and bassist Mark Hoppus has revealed that a full blown re-union may well be a possibility.
Writing in a blog on himynameismark.com, Hoppus said:
“We’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking… Obviously the first question for a lot of people will be ‘Does this mean a Blink-182 reunion?’. The answer is none of us know.
“The events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. Life is too short.”
Blink 182 played their last show at The Point in Dublin on December 16, 2004. The band split in February 2005 when guitarist Tom DeLonge quit the band. It’s been reported that the relationship between the three has been frosty ever since. Travis Barker, as recently as July 2008, wasn’t confident he’d be back on stage with his former bandmates.
“I haven’t spoken to Tom in three years… I think everyone would have to be friends, and I think we’d all have to want to do it in order for it to happen”
So what do you think? Will musical fart and knob gags be back with a vengeance? Have they properly buried the hatchet?

I hope soooo =)
blink 182 are my favourite band ever -
Travis has been on stage with Mark Hoppus in +44. Mark and Travis have been friends since the end of blink, things have only been frosty with Tom. You make it sound like all three of them hated one another.
