Stay Together for the Kids? Blink 182 Split....
ellen_dis by ellen_dis February 23rd, 2005
....or, as they put it, have gone on an 'indefinite hiatus'.

Yup, teenage mohawks are sure to go limp across the nation, as the cheeky naked punkers announce that they've decided to give it a rest. Their official site gives the following statement:

"For over a decade, Blink-182 has toured, recorded and done non-stop promotion all while trying to balance relationships with family and friends.

To that end, the band has decided to go on an indefinite hiatus to spend some time enjoying the fruits of their labors with their loved ones. While there is no set plan for the band to begin working together again, no one knows what tomorrow may bring."


So, in a nutshell, that's it.

DiScuss: Is anyone actually bothered? Was the demise of Busted a greater loss? Is Mark Hoppus' crib the best one ever?
