In his new memoir Fahrenheit-182, Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus recalls a surprising moment with one of his biggest musical influences, The Cure’s Robert Smith, that left him stunned and, in hindsight, amused. Fahrenheit-182, released April 8, chronicles Hoppus’ cancer battle, complicated family history, and friendship with longtime bandmate Tom DeLonge, who reunited with the band in 2022. The reunited band will be sharing stages with fellow punks Alkaline Trio, whose singer, Matt Skiba, filled in for DeLonge during his second hiatus from the group from 2015-2022 and recorded two albums (2016’s California and 2019’s Nine) with Hoppus and Barker.
