Tom DeLonge Admits He Didn’t Think He’d Return to Music Until Mark Hoppus’ Cancer Battle

The trio of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker are back together, having toured as Blink-182 over the past year and working up to the release of the new song “One More Time” later this week. And in a candid new video teasing the upcoming single, DeLonge tells Zane Lowe that he wasn’t sure he’d ever return to music until Mark Hoppus’ cancer diagnosis.

“I remember telling my wife, ‘I don’t think I’m ever going to play music again. I don’t think I’m ever going to tour again,’ until Mark told me he was sick. Then it was the only thing I wanted to do,” says Blink’s co-vocalist.
