blink reunion?

Blink-182 Reunion!
BLINK 182
as Grammy presenters!



Long-suffering Blink-182 fans, your prayers have been answered. Or, at least, taken a step toward being answered. On Thursday (February 5), the Recording Academy announced that Blink-182 will reunite at Sunday's 51st Annual Grammy Awards ... as presenters.
It will mark the first time that all three members of Blink — Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker — have shared a stage together since December 2004. They announced they were going on "indefinite hiatus" in February 2005, and since then have been trading barbs and focusing on new projects — Hoppus and Barker with +44, DeLonge with Angels & Airwaves.
But in recent months, that frosty relationship seems to have thawed. First, Hoppus wrote a blog announcing that he, Barker and DeLonge had begun spending time together, fueling rumors of a full-scale Blink-182 reunion. Then, in an exclusive interview with MTV News, Hoppus said that he and DeLonge were "friends" again, and that "the future is wide open" for a Blink reunion.
Before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's get back to this Sunday. It's not known whether Blink will be doing anything besides presenting at the Grammys, but the fact that they were sandwiched between Kate Beckinsale and Natalie Cole in a press release also announcing Diddy, Green Day, LL Cool J and Will.I.Am as presenters seems to indicate that they won't be doing much else.
Phone calls to representatives for the Recording Academy were not returned by press time, nor was an e-mail to Hoppus asking for comment.

Is A Blink-182 Reunion In The Cards? Mark Hoppus Blogs About Hanging With Travis Barker, Tom DeLonge
Bassist keeps expectations low, but says plane crash put things in perspective: 'Life is too short.'

By James Montgomery


Last week, at the mtvU Woodie Awards, former Blink-182er (and current member of +44) Mark Hoppus spoke about his best friend and bandmate Travis Barker, who is recovering from second-and-third degree burns suffered in a September 19 plane crash that killed four people and seriously injured DJ AM.

And this week, Hoppus kept on talking — er, blogging — only this time it wasn't just about about Barker, but former Blink bandmate Tom DeLonge, too. Seems that, for the first time since Blink went on "indefinite hiatus" in February 2005, all three members have been spending time together ... which, of course, could mean that we're in the early stages of a full-on Blink reunion. Maybe.

"In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom, Travis and I have all spoken together," Hoppus wrote on his official site, HiMyNameIsMark.com. First, through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. They've all been great, very positive conversations. We're just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. It's a good thing. 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. We haven't talked about it at all. Right now it's just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect and let the past be the past. The events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. Life is too short."

Despite the public silence from Barker's former Blink-mates in the immediate wake of the crash — which lasted just a couple of weeks — this sounds very much like the hatchet being buried. And as if that news wasn't enough to send Blink fans into a tizzy, consider what Hoppus told MTV News last week, when he was asked when fans can expect a new album from his and Barker's post-Blink band, +44: "Hopefully, in the next couple months we'll see [Barker] behind the kit, I pray. No matter what I work on, Travis will be part of, for sure."

Hoppus' post wasn't entirely devoted to stoking the Blink flames. He also wrote at great length about "Little" Chris Baker and Charles "Che" Still, two of Barker's friends and associates who were killed in the crash.

"These past two months have been the hardest times that I can remember, and I hope that we never see anything like this ever again," he wrote. "Even two months later, I still can't believe what happened, and it's too much to talk about. But let me say that I think about Little Chris every single day, and the world is not the same without him. He is one of the best people I've ever known. We traveled the world together, spending countless hours on buses and planes, in hotel lobbies and dressing rooms. ... I'm so sad that he is not here right now. There are just no words."

Holy frickin crap. Right after I posted Blink will be missed. Did you do that on purpose?

This is flippin amazing though.

Absolutely amazing. That makes me happy.

Yeah i almost passed out when i read it. This news came out today. But they won't be playing unless there is a change of plans...

(don't sue me i'm poor)

In honor of this historic event i have changed my avatar

Amazing. I really hope they get back together.

Hopefully they don't sue you. It'd suck D:

Amazing Avatar =O I'm keeping mine the same though ;D I like it.

They don't need to sue. They won't ever need money again if they reunite. Instant sell-out of their entire tour.

Very true. They would have to expand stadiums and they'd still be sold out.

oh yeah no question. i'd definitely get tickets if they came through here

I would if I had the money to =O

my dishwashing funds will be enough. could always try to win some off the radio if possible.

If they get them on the radio. Hopefull your dishwashing funds would be enough for it

Dude i vote band trip to the blink concert if they come to atlanta

Fo shiz yo. I wonder how much the tickets would be.

probably around 90$

That's not to terribly bad. I'm sure it'd be worth it.

i'd paid 200-300$ dollars to get into a blink concert

I'm sure that there are a lot of people that would. They just wouldn't sell out anywhere near as fast, or sell out at all.

They would be sold out i be in under a min after ticket release

Without a doubt.

Yep i will post more news if i find any

I just read some rumors from someone saying that david kennedy, the guitarist from AVA confirmed a new blink record, not sure how reliable the source is though
