About this listen

*An instant Sunday Times bestseller*

A smart, funny, anarchic and gripping memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, 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 experiences his parents' bitter divorce, moves around the country, switches identities 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 also a funny, smart, and relatable memoir for anyone who has wanted to quit but kept going.©2025 Mark Hoppus and Dan Ozzi (P)2025 Hachette Audio UK

Brutal, honest and wonderful

As a lifelong fan of Blink-182 this is quite some journey. The early days are a joy, the struggle and love of the bandmates, the breaking of that is hard to listen to as a fan. Mark is brutally honest in this book, you don't get the glossy version on anything. The end of course is wonderful, victory.

Blink-182 for life.

So flippin good

This is the first earnest Blink story which does not hold back. It’s full of great stories and tales from the road. It goes in deep on the challenges Mark has faced and my only grumble is that it wasn’t longer. I’ll be looking forward to Fahrenheit-182-2

Didn’t want it to end

This book had everything. As a blink/punk fan in my youth, Mark tells you everything you want to know and more. It was funny with moments of real pain and struggle. I could have listened to this for a lot longer. SO good.

Nostalgic and moving

Loved hearing about Mark’s Blink-182 story and his relatable mental health journey. One to listen to again and again

Tom Delonge was an A hole 😅


Fahrenheit 182 is a fantastic listen for anyone who’s ever been a fan of blink-182. The book dives deep into the band’s journey—from their early days with original drummer Scott Raynor, to the explosion of fame that followed, and all the chaos in between. It’s especially fascinating to read about the behind-the-scenes dynamics, including the band breakups and Tom DeLonge’s role in them. The book doesn’t shy away from the tougher moments either, like Mark Hoppus’s battle with cancer and his treatment journey.

AWESOME

It’s incredible to hear one of my idols open up like this. What a guy. I’m biased, but this really is a brilliant book

Mark being personal

Exactly what an autobiography should be like, personal, honest and fun. A range of emotions read well by Mark himself

Go Trig Boy!

Absolutely loved this memoir. Much better than the one by Deryck Whibley (Sum 41) and Dave Grohl.
Funny, sad and entertaining.
It’s also read brilliantly by Mark himself.

Dream memoir for me

I’ve been a Blink and Mark fan most of my life, since discovering them, so was very excited when this got announced.

It doesn’t disappoint.

There are some interesting stories, from his childhood through to all the music, separation from Tom & surviving Stage 4 cancer.

Mark really is one amazing dude, and his narration was engaging. It was good to get some insights into what was happening during the Blink Hiatus, and his thoughts on Tom doing Boxcar and AVA. I personally thought Angels & Airwaves were great, but you cannot top Mark, Tom & Travis on stage together.

The audiobook isn’t super long, but it doesn’t feel short and feels like it covers things in the right level of detail. Mark opens up about some battles with depression, anxiety, insecurity and OCD, which is cool for me, as I struggle a lot with that stuff myself.

I’d highly recommend to anybody who’s a fan.
