Blink-182 To Reunite

After splitting up in 2005, the members of Blink-182 are talking again, sparking rumours of a reunion, reports Billboard.com.

On his blog, former member Mark Hoppus revealed that the recent death of producer Jerry Finn, as well as drummer Travis Barker’s plane crash, have brought the musicians back together.  

"We’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking," he says. "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."

Following the breakup of the band, Barker and Hoppus formed the band +44, while Tom DeLonge joined the band Angels & Airwaves.
