In "Fahrenheit-182," Mark Hoppus shares his journey from a challenging childhood to rock stardom with Blink-182. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2021, Hoppus turned to writing as therapy during his chemotherapy. The memoir explores deep personal themes including his parents' divorce and his love for punk rock music, alongside recounting the intricacies of his relationships with bandmates Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker. Rather than portraying any party as the villain, Hoppus emphasizes the band's spirit and brotherhood amidst their struggles, culminating in a story that reflects both triumph and vulnerability.
"It was really cathartic to write it all out and try to be fair to everybody in the book. My whole goal with the book was to not demonize anybody."
"When my cancer went into remission, and I felt like I had dodged a bullet, I wanted to tell the story of Blink-182... I love Tom and Travis so much."
