Blink-182 Singer: Travis Barker's Crash Brought Us Together

Blink-182's Mark Hoppus says Travis Barker's tragic crash. has brought them back together.

"We're just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking," he 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."

Since Blink-182's split, Barker and Hoppus formed +44, while Tom DeLonge fronted Angels & Airwaves.

On Sunday's TRL finale, Barker said, "I'm already playing my drums again, and I'm already back in the studio."

Getting behind the drum set again "was like riding a bike," Barker told Damien Fahey. "It was really exciting to know I still have my chops. It still felt good. I still can make it around the kit. Everything felt right, so I'm thankful to be able to play."
