The group posted this message on their web site February 22:

“For over a decade, Blink-182 has toured, recorded and done non-stop promotion all while trying to balance relationships with family and friends.

“To that end, the band has decided to go on an indefinite hiatus to spend some time enjoying the fruits of their labors with their loved ones. While there is no set plan for the band to begin working together again, no one knows what tomorrow may bring.”

On February 18, the group announced it would not perform at the “Music For Relief” tsunami benefit show held that night in Los Angeles. No reason was given for the cancellation.
