Mark Hoppus has made a surprise return to Reddit to share the story behind the title of the upcoming blink-182 album.
He’s left his Reddit account inactive for a number of years, but overnight he made a return to the platform to talk directly to fans in the blink-182 subreddit.
The post, which has since been up-voted over 1,400 times details the reason behind the name ‘Nine’ – check out his full post below:
“‘NINE’. this is our ninth album, as decided by me and travis. some count ‘Buddha’, some not. some count ‘The Mark, Tom and Travis Show’. some count ‘Greatest Hits’. some count ‘Dogs Eating Dogs’. i’m counting ‘Buddha’, ‘Cheshire Cat’, ‘Dude Ranch’, ‘Enema Of The State’, ‘TOYPAJ’, ‘Untitled’, ‘Neighborhoods’, ‘California’, and now ‘NINE’. nine is also the number of universal love. and the number of uranus. remember to like and smash that subscribe button, or whatever it is the kids say now.”
blink-182 announced the details of their brand new album ‘Nine’ yesterday, following Mark Hoppus announcing the release date of September 20 live on Good Morning America the week before.
