In his new memoir Fahrenheit-182, Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus remembers a kissy kissy moment with one of his ginormous musical influences, that left him stunned yet a tad regrettable.
Hoppus says that the incident occured post a 2004 gig via Wembley Arena. Blink-182 brought Robert onstage to jazz out to their collaborative track “All of This.” Later came thee afterparty, which Hoppus shared that the emo goth king leaned in and tried to taste it.
Mark said to Us Weekly in a public excerpt: “My wife and I are like, ‘Alright, we’re out. See you later,’ and then Robert tries to kiss me.” Hoppus also to it be known, adding that only members of the band’s road crew witnessed it.

“He was my hero. I grew up listening to this guy’s music and it changed my life forever. Then he tries to kiss me at a party and I’m like, ‘I should have done that. Why not?’ It’s a much better story than he tried to kiss me and it was awkward. It would’ve been rad to be like, ‘Yeah, made out with my hero.’”
Robert was apparently feeling frisky. Now one has to wonder. What does his wifey Mary Poole, of 37 years ponders of it.
