Blink 182 Take An Indefinite Break

American pop-punkers Blink 182 have confirmed they are taking an “indefinite hiatus”.

After a decade together, the trio claim they want to "spend some time enjoying the fruits of their labours with loved ones."

An official statement from the band’s label Geffen reads: "For over a decade, Blink-182 has toured, recorded and promoted non-stop all while trying to balance relationships with family and friends."

"While there is no set plan for the band to begin working together again, no one knows what tomorrow may bring."

Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker scored nine chart hits in the UK including ‘All The Small Things’, ‘What’s my Age Again’ and most recently ‘Always’ last year.
