bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182.
This is a story of what happens when an angst-ridden kid who grew up in the desert

from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meets his best friend who just so
happens to be his musical soulmate.
Bassist, songwriter, and vocalist for renowned pop-punk trailblazers blink-182, Mark
Hoppus, tells his story in Fahrenheit-182. A memoir that paints a vivid picture of what it
was like to grow up in the 1980s as a latchkey kid hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and
MTV; Mark Hoppus shares how he came of age and forms one of the biggest bands of his
generation. Threaded through with the very human story of a constant battle with anxiety
and Mark’s public battle and triumph over cancer, Fahrenheit-182 is a delight for fans and

going.
