Blink-182 singer-bassist and co-founding member Mark Hoppus will release his new memoir Fahrenheit-182, co-written with ‘Sellout’ author Dan Ozzi. Hoppus had previously announced Fahrenheit-182 back in 2022, saying he was “excited” to tell his story after battling cancer.
Hoppus announced the memoir in a tongue-in-cheek, infomercial-style video, and promises the memoir will ‘get into skateboarding, ’90s music, and band breakups, as well as his diagnosis with cancer, which he’s since treated with chemotherapy.’ Hoppus shares: “I wrote a book! And it’s terrific. This is a story of what happens when an angst-ridden kid who grew up in the desert experiences his parents’ bitter divorce, moves around the country, switches identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meets his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate Threaded through with the very human story of a constant battle with anxiety and Mark’s public battle and triumph over cancer, Fahrenheit-182 is a delight for fans and also a funny, smart, and relatable memoir for anyone who has wanted to quit but kept going.”
The band released their full-length project ONE MORE TIME… (available here) in 2023, and recently dropped ONE MORE TIME… PART-2 (available here), a deluxe edition featuring additional bonus tracks.
Fahrenheit-182 hits shelves on April 8, 2025. To preorder, head here.
