“Blink-182 is back!”
Blink-182 fans have waited several long, desolate years to hear from the band concerning a reunion. And tonight, at the 51st annual Grammy awards, the fans were finally rewarded.
Mark Hoppus, bass player and vocalist of Blink-182, steps up humbly to the microphone and pitches an ironic joke: “Isn’t it great to see the Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder are back together again?” Virtuoso drummer, Travis Barker, speaks next, saying “We used to play music together, and we decided that we’re going to play music together again.”
“Blink-182 is back!” confirms Hoppus.
You can watch the following video to see it all as it happened only a short while ago.

Love live Blink-182!!
Lars-Christian:
Great news for fans of the band. I for some reason never really got very much into them, possibly because they peaked a bit before I started taking an interest in the “punk” genre, and they never were that big in the mainstream over here.
Looking forward to see what they’ve got though. And you love live B-182? I don’t even know what that means, but it certainly makes you seem excited
