Blink-182: Last News

Joan Jett made an early appearance at today’s (September 27) Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in Los Angeles, joining the surviving members of Foo Fighters – with Blink-182’s Travis Barker sitting in for Hawkins on drums – to perform two of her biggest hits from the ‘80s.The one-off supergroup delivered renditions of ‘Cherry Bomb’ (from 1984’s ‘Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth’) and ‘Bad Reputation’ (from Jett’s self-titled 1980 album, reissued a year later as ‘Bad Reputation’). The latter was a particularly special inclusion, given that Jett and the Foos have teamed up several times throughout the years to perform it together.One notable team-up, in 2011, saw Jett join the Foos to perform ‘Bad Reputation’ on Late Night With David Letterman.

Those rumours heated up last month when the former guitarist and co-vocalist – who left Blink in 2015 “to change the world for my kids” – hinted that he’d finally linked back up with Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker.

Mark Hoppus has hinted that Tom DeLonge could rejoin Blink-182 after the pair recently reconciled.It comes after the bassist opened up about a home visit with DeLonge and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker that has left the trio in “a really great place right now.”“It was the first time that all thee of us were in the same room in like five years,” Hoppus recalled to People magazine of the informal meeting, which took place before he began chemotherapy in 2021.“It’s actually better than it used to be. There was no agenda.

The Blink-182 sticksman later made a surprise appearance at Kelly’s gig in LA.Earlier this week, MGK (real name Colson Baker) wrote on Instagram Stories (via Billboard): “Against his doctor’s orders AND with a broken thumb, I convinced @travisbarker to come join us for the last couple days [of the North American tour].”The message appeared alongside a screenshot of the pair on a FaceTime video call.Yesterday (August 10), Barker confirmed that he’d be making an appearance at last night’s concert at the Enterprise Center in St.

Blink-182 had not come to an end, Tom DeLonge may now be teasing that he’s finally re-joined the band in an official capacity.Rumours of the co-frontman’s return began to swirl a few weeks ago, when Alkaline Trio vocalist Matt Skiba – who replaced him in 2015 after DeLonge left “to change the world for my kids” – admitted that he didn’t know whether he was still a part of the band. Later in the month, Blink themselves threw fuel onto the fire with a teaser for their upcoming Funko Pop! collaboration (a series of figures celebrating the band’s 30th anniversary), which features DeLonge.Though the band are yet to confirm whether or not DeLonge has returned to the fray, the vocalist and guitarist has begun hinting at that being the case.

I mean, to be honest, you’re one of my favourite artists.”Lavigne continued: “[1997 Blink album] ‘Dude Ranch’ and ‘Enema Of The State’ [1999] … those were the records I was listening to in high school, and as a teenager and I feel like they were really impactful on me as I was coming into my own musical identity.The ‘Sk8er Boi’ artist went on to say that the pair worked on ‘All I Wanted’ together remotely “over Zoom, which was different”.“I mean, I was so excited and I was really impressed with how efficient you are in the studio,” she recalled.
