Recent tragedies inspire Blink 182 band members to reconnect

Former Blink 182 band member Mark Hoppus, has revealed that the recent death of Blink producer Jerry Finn and Travis Barker’s miraculous survival of a plane crash has gotten the guys talking again.

There were hard feelings after the band’s break up in 2005 with Mark and Travis not really speaking with former 182 frontman Tom DeLonge since.

Hoppus said on his blog, “We’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. 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. Right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect and let the past be the past.”

Tragic events have a way of healing old wounds, perhaps a step in the direction for a reunion tour?
