why did blink 182 break up?

Question

well the question says it all why did blink 182 break up?

Answer 1

cause Travis is obsessed with himself & his celebrity status & not focusing on the band's welfare

Answer 2

On February 22, 2005, many fans were shocked when blink-182 announced they were going on an "indefinite hiatus". As the reason for the "indefinite hiatus", Delonge suggested the mounting tension between himself and Hoppus, ultimately caused by DeLonge's desire for a break with his family and Hoppus' feelings of betrayal from the formation of Boxcar Racer. His former bandmates, however, remain tight-lipped on the issue and have still yet to give any in-depth response on the situation. On the July 21st, 2006 MTV posted an article about Hoppus and Barker's (+44) outfit. Both didn't wish to comment on blink-182, with Barker making only a terse and equivocal statement regarding Tom DeLonge and his new band Angels and Airwaves: "You're definitely seeing what the real Tom DeLonge was like. That's all I'm going to say about him or his band." After the break-up each of the bandmembers embarked on solo projects. DeLonge formed Angels and Airwaves, whose debut album We Don't Need to Whisper – leaked in April 2006 – was released on May 23rd, 2006 and is currently touring with his outfit. Transplants broke up after the Warped Tour, however Barker and Skinhead Rob emerged immediately with a new project, called Expensive Taste with rap superstar Paul Wall. Hoppus and Barker are finishing work on their (+44) debut album, Little Death. Earlier in 2006, Barker played a couple of shows with DJ AM and has trademarked the name The Phenomenons for a new band. In the wake of the "hiatus", Geffen Records released a career long "Greatest Hits" compilation in October (Outside the United States) and November (United States) 2005. One previously unreleased track was included "Another Girl Another Planet" (a cover song originally by The Only Ones, recorded as the theme song to the reality TV show Meet the Barkers), Also included was the previously issued B-side (to the "I Miss You" single) and Untitled album bonus track (Outside the United States), "Not Now" (which was used as the first single). The album immediately reached No. 6 on The Billboard 200 in the United States. There are two versions of the Greatest Hits CD. One that has a bonus track: Aliens Exist (live) issued in Australia with a bonus DVD, and another version that includes two bonus tracks: "Go (live)" and "I Won't Be Home For Christmas" along with the DVD issued in the UK.

Answer 3

It hasnt been officially said what the reason was for the bands breakup, but speculation and heresay all conclude that some sort of rift was created between the trio. Tom Delonge has since stated that he loves Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus but they are just not in the same places anylonger. Personally I am grateful to Tom for stepping outside of the box and creating a new BETTER band called Angels and Airwaves.

Answer 4

They said in an interview that they needed time to themselves and they needed to focus on their families and stuff but then travis joined the transplants, and tom started his own little thing with angels and airwaves and i dont know what happened to mark, but yeah. IT was a weird little break up.
