It took a near death plane crash experience by Travis Barker to get the trio to communicate again...
Travis has been in a band with Mark Hoppus,+44,and Thomas Delonge has since gone on to form the band ANGEL & AIRWAVES..
Mark write on his blog,
"We're just reconnecting as friends after 4 yrs of not
talking...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 happend before.
Life is too short."
-Mark Hoppus
I look foward for their reunion.It would b great to see them together back again..
At a recent Atticus clothing show Tom Delonge and his band Angels and Airwaves took to the stage for a short 3 song set, during the course of the set it was noticeable Delonge was acting distant and distracted from his new band mates. In return his band mates gave the lead singer frosty looks during the entire set, and there was no banter with the crowd at all during the show. This set was only supposed to be a 3 song set according to the show promoter, unexplainably after the 3 song set which was in all honesty was quite shabby, due to Delonge being the main focus of the band and his lazy attitude, Delonge unexplainably re took to the stage alone 5 minutes later.This time Delonge was in different clothes to the black emo attire he previously wore, this was a different Delonge in a backwards baseball cap, 3 quarter length shorts and white Macbeth top, strikingly similar to the attire he wore during his Blink 182 days. On his return to the stage he no longer had his trademark Tom Delonge Gibson ES-333 in his hand but a plain white Fender, again one strikingly similar to the one he used in his previous Blink days. Nobody was aware of what Delonge was doing, least of all the promoter who was visibly trying to pull Delonge off the stage, however with no luck.Delonge proceeded to silence the crowd then played a full rendition of the Blink 182 smash hit Stay Together For The Kids, a song previously sung in unison with former band member Mark Hoppus. However it was Delonge and Delonge alone with his guitar as stunned onlookers stood in disbelief to what was taking place. Delonge sang all his parts and played all his parts in those 3 minutes with more passion and drive than the whole 25 minute 3 song set he just performed with Angels and Airwaves put together.However during the course of the song obviously he was alone without his former band mates, and when it came to the Hoppus verse of the song instead of covering it, he left it mysteriously silent with just his guitar playing. After his heartfelt rendition of the hit song finished he spoke softly into the microphone; ****ing stay together for the kids, im sorry.
