In typical Blink 182 fashion, days before the announcement, each bandmate simultaneously added Blink 182 logos to their social media pages hinting that something epic was in the works. The group then released a comical promotion video to announce their reunion world tour, display their new band logo, and welcome Tom Delonge back into the fold. This announcement came as a shock to Blink 182 fans, as the reunion was only a rumor for many months.

These musicians have experienced plane crashes, cancer, the death of friends and so much more. Tragedies of this magnitude can strain any relationship, fortunately for the fans of Blink 182, the bandmates bonded over their hardships and rebuilt their friendship.
