How did Blink 182 break up?

Answer 1

Blink-182

Blink-182 broke up in Feb 2005. Tom Delonge started controlling everything and Mark and Travis didn't like it. Tom decided when they toured, where they toured and so forth. Tom Delonge went on to form Angels and Airwaves and Mark and Travis went to form +44.

Mark (bass,vocals), Tom(guitar,vocals) and Travis (drums) all had kids and wives at home. Tom wanted to take a break from the 2 straight years of touring to spend time with his family. Mark and Travis didn't want to stop touring. Tom said in his Angels And Airwaves documentery "Start The Machine" that Mark and Travis said if he wanted to take a break he would "face the consquinces" Tom said "No one puts an ultimatum on my family; especialy over something stupid like that. After Tom got his break, he formed Angels And Airwaves, Mark And Travis formed +44. None of them know about a future reunion of Blink.

Also, the problem originated with Mark and Tom. Mark was always a little jealous that Tom created box car racer without him but featured Travis. So to retaliate he created Plus 44 with Travis. When Tom was on tour in 2005 he felt a need to be with his family. After going home he was offered a solo career. He declined but Mark didn't know he had declined and became very upset and caused the hiatus. Although Tom predicts a reunion because Tom and Mark have atticus clothing, Macbeth shoes and resting bird entertaiment hes been quoted as saying those obligations will eventually bring them back together.
