Talk About Rock Music

Thanks to Talk About Rock Music readers, we can advise the world that Blink 182 are finally back together.

We wrote a post recently following the tragic plane accident where one of the band members, Travis Barker, was seriously injured.  Rumours went around about the band at the time as the other former members where back in contact with Travis to wish him well.  The band quickly disparaged the rumours and advised fans that they were just building up old relationships and renewing their friendship and nothing was on the cards just yet.

At the recent Grammy awards, Blink 182 reunited to present an award to Coldplay for Best Rock Album and made a passing comment about being back together and have since released an official statement.

“Hi. We’re blink-182. This past week there’ve been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. 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.”

“Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready…”

So you have a direct quote here people.  Keep your eyes peeled and let me know of any further updates.

Thanks to Blink Fan and Valerie for keeping us updated.

Talk About Rock Music says:  It will be nice to see the band performing again.  They are good to listen to , fun to watch and they don’t mind making jokes of themselves and keeping things light.  Well done lads and we look forward to seeing you soon.
