In case you someway missed the memo: Blink-182 is again. The group introduced again Tom DeLonge for the reunion of its traditional lineup, together with a forthcoming new album and worldwide tour by way of 2024. Though followers are elated, as seen within the surge of social media posts this previous week, one one that has been quiet till now was Matt Skiba. The guitarist (additionally behind pop-punk act Alkaline Trio) had stuffed in for DeLonge for the previous seven years after he determined to pursue his exterior pursuits (UFOs) and different initiatives (Angels & Airwaves).
On Friday, DeLonge shared an open letter to Skiba wherein he expressed his gratitude for “keep[ing] the band alive and thriving in my absence,” and likewise admitted, “to be honest, the band would not even be here today if it were not for your ability to jump in and save the day.”
Though Skiba didn’t work together with DeLonge’s put up, he shared an announcement shortly thereafter that supplied a full-cap hearty congratulations to the trio (additionally together with former bandmates Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker) on the reunion. Skiba’s put up, partly, learn, “I am truly grateful for my time with blink and I am truly happy you guys are a band and a family again.”
Also on Friday, Blink-182 launched its first tune with DeLonge in over a decade. “Edging” sticks to their tried-and-true system for pop-punk bangers. They will embark on a reunion tour starting in Mexico in March earlier than heading to the States in early May, together with a headline look on the When We Were Young pageant.
