Mark Hoppus, bassist and vocalist of the iconic pop-punk band BLINK-182, is set to release his memoir, Fahrenheit-182, on April 8, 2025, through HarperCollins’ Dey Street Books. Co-authored by Dan Ozzi, the book offers an introspective journey through Mark’s life, from his beginnings as a California desert kid navigating skateboarding and punk rock, to his meteoric rise with BLINK-182. It delves into personal struggles with anxiety, depression, and his battle with cancer.
In a humorous yet candid mock infomercial, Hoppus teased the memoir, promising tales of ’90s music, punk rock clubs, and darker themes like band breakups and personal turmoil. Described as both relatable and raw, Fahrenheit-182 is more than a fan memoir, exploring the ups and downs of fame and the resilience needed to push through.
As a founding member of BLINK-182, +44, and SIMPLE CREATURES, Hoppus has played a crucial role in shaping pop-punk, selling over 50 million albums worldwide. The release follows BLINK-182’s chart-topping 2023 album One More Time… and comes as the band wraps up their largest global tour to date.
