On Monday, Blink’s social media channels were cleared, the profile pictures were changed to the band’s logo rather than a press shot of the line-up, and the official website was listed as ‘Under Construction’.
The return of DeLonge to the line-up has been the subject of much speculations in recent months, especially after fans noticed in August how DeLonge had changed his bio on Instagram to include Blink 182, as well as Angels & Airways.
Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba started touring with Blink in 2015 and appeared on their albums California (2016) and Nine (2019). When asked if he was still part of the band, Skiba replied on Instagram: “Your guess is as good as mine.”
In August, Hoppus told People magazine that he, DeLonge and Barker were in the same room for the first time in around five years while he was battling an aggressive form of lymphoma.
Now cancer-free, Hoppus said: “I keep writing music, and I’m open to whatever the next phase of Blink is. I’m hopeful for the future. I’m just damn glad to be here.”
