Blink 182 Reuni Finally is Officiall

Blink 182 is back, itulah teriakan bassis mereka Mark Hoppus sesaat sebelum membacakan nominasi Grammy 2009 untuk Best Rock album untuk Coldplay. Blink 182 yang terdiri dari Tom Delonge (vokal), Mark Hoppus (Bass), dan Travis Barker (drum) ini tidak hanya reuni untuk presenting award di grammy saja melainkan mereka merencanakan untuk membuat album pada tahun ini. Kembalinya mereka ke dunia musik ini, ditandai dengan pernyataan pada website official mereka yang berisi ” Hi. We’re blink-182. This past week there’ve been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We’re back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy.”. Hal ini tentu meluruskan gonjang-ganjing serta rasa pesimis fans mereka tentang kembalinya Blink 182. Blink 182 sendiri vakum mulai dari tahun 2005, semenjak itu mereka tidak pernah berkomunikasi satu sama lain dan sibuk dengan project masing-masing. Tom dengan Angle n ‘Airwave-nya, Mark dan Travis dengan +44-nya. Kecelakaan yang menimpa salah satu dari personil mereka yaitu Travis pada november 2008 merupakan awal dari proses reunian mereka. Dalam Blog pribadinya Mark menulis “In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom, Travis, and I have all spoken together,” …..“First through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. … We’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking.” Album Terakhir mereka sendiri adalah Blink’s 182 tahun 2003.
