Fresh reax.
Travis Barker and his estranged Blink-182 bandmates are back in contact. Blink-182 member Mark Hoppus blogs on Barker’s recovery from September’s tragic plane crash and discusses the prospects of a band reunion!
"We’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking," Hoppus says on his blog. "It’s a good thing. Obviously the first question for a lot of people will be, ‘Does this mean a Blink-182 reunion?’ The answer is none of us know. We haven’t talked about it at all. Right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect and let the past be the past."
Mark adds in the blog: "I’m also so thankful that Travis and DJ AM made it out of the plane that horrible night. Travis is a brother to me, and since the crash he has gone through more than I can even imagine. From the day after the plane went down, when I saw him in the burn unit out in Georgia, to the hospital here in L.A., to seeing him at home, his recovery is nothing short of amazing. Every day gets a little better."
