This is the story of an ordinary boy who becomes a rock star. It begins in the Californian backwoods, with youthful rebellion amidst punk rock, skateboarding, and MTV. In San Diego, after dropping out of college in the early 90s, Mark Hoppus finds his musical soulmate—and together they form a band in his garage that will break all punk records. With blink-182, the friends usher in a new wave of pop-punk and, from the late 90s onward, shape an entire generation of fans worldwide with their hits. But that's only the bright side of the coin. The greater his success grew, the more Mark was plagued by anxiety and depression. Added to this were the falling outs with his bandmates, the temporary breakup of blink-182, and finally, a serious cancer diagnosis. In 'Fahrenheit-182', Mark Hoppus grants us a unique glimpse behind the scenes of this eventful rock star life. His candid memoir is a treat for every fan—and an inspiring and entertaining tale of dreaming and never giving up. New product
