The members of punk rock trio Blink-182 announced during Sunday night’s Grammy Awards that they are reuniting for a tour and new album. The group has been on hiatus for more than four years.
“We used to play music together, and we decided we’re going to play music together again,” drummer Travis Barker said at the Los Angeles event, still with his arm in a sling after surviving a deadly plane crash last year.
In a statement sent to the media, the band said, “To put it simply, We’re back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy.” Rumors are swirling that the band will open for Green Day this summer, but details have not been announced.
