Mark Hoppus’ New Memoir & Book Tour Tackle Cancer, Anxiety & Music
Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus has a new memoir coming out on April 2nd, and he’s going on a book to promote it. Fahrenheit-182 tells his life story from his childhood struggles with his parent’s divorce, his identity, and finally finding his place in music.
“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,” the book description explains. “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.”
Hoppus will discuss the book and his experiences on the road, with dates across the U.S. He’ll begin on April 9th in Brooklyn, New York, and cover the Northeast before a stop in Chicago, Illinois. He’ll then wrap up with a pair of dates in California, culminating on April 20th at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.
Fahrenheit-182 is available for pre-order in hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook editions.
