Blink-182 has undergone several transformations since forming in California more than three decades ago.
Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Scott Raynor formed the band in 1992. Travis Barker replaced Scott as drummer in 1998, helping create the trio responsible for hits including “All the Small Things,” “What’s My Age Again?” and “I Miss You.”
Tom later left and was replaced by Matt Skiba, but the original Mark, Tom and Travis lineup reunited in 2022.
Here is what the current and former members are doing today.
Mark Hoppus Survived a Major Health Battle
Mark is the only musician to appear on every Blink-182 album.
During the band’s 2005 hiatus, he and Travis formed +44, which released the 2006 album “When Your Heart Stops Beating.” Mark later created Simple Creatures with All Time Low singer Alex Gaskarth.
In 2021, Mark was diagnosed with stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After undergoing chemotherapy, he announced that he was cancer-free that September. His health battle also helped repair his friendship with Tom.
Mark released his memoir, “Fahrenheit-182,” in 2025. He has been married to Skye Everly since 2000, and they share a son, Jack.
Tom DeLonge Explored Life Beyond Music
Tom first left Blink-182 in 2005 and formed Angels & Airwaves. He returned to Blink-182 in 2009 before departing again in 2015.
Away from music, Tom pursued his interest in extraterrestrial life and unexplained aerial phenomena. He founded To the Stars, a company that develops books, movies, television projects and scientific research.
Tom executive produced the History Channel show “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation” in 2019.
He rejoined Blink-182 in 2022, leading to the album “One More Time…” and multiple tours. Tom shares two children with his former wife, Jennifer DeLonge, and married Marie DeLonge in 2021.
Travis Barker Built a Blended Family
Travis joined Blink-182 in 1998 after reportedly learning the band’s set in less than an hour.
Outside the group, he has collaborated with artists including Machine Gun Kelly, Avril Lavigne and Willow Smith. He has also launched a record label, clothing company and wellness brand.
Travis survived a 2008 plane crash that killed four people and left him with burns across much of his body. He discussed the accident and his recovery in the 2026 Hulu documentary “Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear.”
Travis married Kourtney Kardashian in 2022. They welcomed their son, Rocky, in 2023 and share a blended family that includes children from their previous relationships.
Scott Raynor Chose a Different Career
Scott played drums on Blink-182’s first two albums, “Cheshire Cat” and “Dude Ranch,” before leaving in 1998.
He later performed with several other bands, including One Track Mind, Grimbly and The Wraith.
In 2023, Scott reportedly began a new career with the San Diego Police Department.
Matt Skiba Returned to Alkaline Trio
Matt joined Blink-182 after Tom’s 2015 departure and appeared on the albums “California” and “Nine.”
When Tom returned, Matt expressed gratitude for his time with the band and said there was no bad blood surrounding the reunion.
He returned his focus to Alkaline Trio, the band he helped form in 1996. The group released “Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs” in 2024 and joined Rise Against on tour in 2026.
