While the music fans across the globe have, for the most part, been rejoicing over news that Blink-182 would be returning with a world tour and a new album in the coming year, some skeptics have wondered if this reunion had any real staying power. After all, the band was considered by many to be dead and gone not even a year ago. However, in an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, the band has stressed that this isn’t a one-time thing and that they plan to keep playing together and making music as long as it stays fun.
“I don't think [a reunion] was in any of our heads a year ago,” bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus says. “Three years ago, I would have said it was a total impossibility; a year ago, I would have thought it was highly unlikely.”
Guitarist and vocalist Tom Delonge adds, “I think a year ago it probably wouldn't have been something on our minds. But it's definitely [interesting] how rapidly things can change from day to day.”
When asked if the reunion would only last for one tour and one album, Hoppus replies, “Hell no. I hate when bands get back together and do one tour and it feels like they're going to make a bunch of money, and then they go away for awhile and then come back again. We did this [reunion] to continue being creative and having fun. I see us continuing to tour and put out albums as long as it's fun. There's no end game and no plan at all. We enjoy playing music together, that's all.”
Delonge jokingly adds, “No end game, no plan and no practice. We're just going to see where that takes us.”
Blink-182’s first tour in almost five years begins on July 24 in Las Vegas, NV.
