Hoppus first announced Fahrenheit-182 back in September, explaining at the time that the book would explore his time in Blink-182, from the band’s early years through their split and beyond. Hoppus also details his struggles with anxiety and suicide ideation in the book, as well as recounts his cancer diagnosis and subsequent journey to remission.
“This shit gets dark,” he said in a promotional video, later adding in an interview that the memoir is “a combo of music memoir meets medical journey.”
In a description of Fahrenheit-182, the book’s publisher HarperCollins explains: “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 publisher adds: “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.”
