Why Did Blink 182 Break Up

Are Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge still friends?

Founding Blink-182 members Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus are in a great place after “repairing” their years-long friendship, with Hoppus’ cancer diagnosis serving as the catalyst for their renewed bond.

To this day, Barker has a fear of flying and takes a tour bus when travelling to gigs in the US. In 2014, he dropped out of Blink-182’s Australian Tour because of this phobia. “I’m sorry to announce I won’t be joining Blink-182 on this Australian tour,” he wrote in a statement at the time.
