Mark Hoppus Reflects on Robert Smith's Surprising Kiss Attempt in New Memoir

The Blink-182 frontman shares a humorous 2004 encounter with The Cure's Robert Smith, offering a lighthearted moment in his deeply personal memoir, 'Fahrenheit-182.'

Mark Hoppus reveals in his memoir, 'Fahrenheit-182,' that The Cure's Robert Smith attempted to kiss him at an after-party following a 2004 Wembley Arena concert.
The incident occurred after a collaborative performance of their track 'All Of This,' with only Blink-182's road crew witnessing the moment.
Hoppus admits he did not notify Smith about including the story in his memoir but notes their interactions since have been amicable and unaddressed.
'Fahrenheit-182' also chronicles Hoppus's battle with cancer, his reconciliation with bandmate Tom DeLonge, and the enduring legacy of Blink-182.
Blink-182 recently announced their 2025 'Missionary Impossible' tour, set to begin in August, with tickets going on sale April 11.
