Mark Hoppus Opens Up About Tour Cancellation
Bassist tells angry Blink fans that they 'didn't want to rush and put out an inferior record' in a new post online.
Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus has taken to his Facebook page to respond to fans who have been expressing their anger at the band's decision to cancel their Summer touring and festival plans.
"I have been reading all of your comments, both here and on my twitter, and to those of you who're frustrated, angry, let down, and incredulous, I feel you," he wrote. "I feel the same way. I've had a while to process everything and I'm still bummed. This was not an easy decision for us at all. One of the hardest things we've had to do. Ever. It sucks. The point is we didn't want to rush and put out an inferior record. We also didn't want to become a band who relies on their past success and just plays the same songs every tour, even though we'll always play the older stuff as well. blink-182 NEEDS to make new music. For you, and for us."
