During DeLonge’s absence, Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba stepped in on guitar and vocals for Blink, and he recorded two albums, 2016’s ‘California’ and 2019’s ‘Nine’, with the pop-punk legends. While he left the band following DeLonge’s return, he did join them for ‘Bored To Death’ during their benefit concert for the Los Angeles fires earlier this year after Alkaline Trio opened the show. The Chicago punks will be supporting Blink-182 on all 16 of the tour’s non-festival dates, too.

After DeLonge rejoined, he wrote an open letter to Skiba in which he said, “Hi Matt, Tom DeLonge here,” he wrote. “I wanted to take a minute and say thank you for all that you have done to keep the band thriving in my absence. I think you are enormously talented (I still love and listen to your band to this day).”

For his part, Skiba said he was “truly happy” for his former bandmates and DeLonge.

Meanwhile, Hoppus released his memoir, Fahrenheit-182, today. In an interview with The Guardian, he opened up about how his diagnosis with lymphoma in 2021 helped heal his friendship with DeLonge.

He said that while the chemotherapy, steroids and pain “crushed me for months on end,” the diagnosis “brought back friendships that I hadn’t had in years.”

He explained: “It healed my friendship with Tom: from day one, he was like: ‘What do you need? I’m there.’ In that friendship and the love and support of people around me, I thought: you know what? I’ve had a pretty awesome life.”

And, it’s been reported that ska-punk icons Sublime are working on their first album since 1996 with drummer Barker.
