In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Blink 182 frontman Tom DeLonge says the band will finish recording the long awaited follow up to their self-titled 2003 album this summer.DeLonge also went on to discuss his drug addiction and said that if Travis Barker hadn't been involved in a plane crash, Blink wouldn't be back together."I was on Vicodin, lots of Vicodin," DeLonge told the newspaper. "When you're addicted to drugs, you say [a lot of] stupid [stuff]. My biggest failure was the break-up of Blink. That was a failure of friendships, businesses and communications. "In our hearts, we thought that was forever and gone," he added. "What's funny is, at the time, I looked at it as a triumph. The fact that I was able to make a decision so detrimental to myself and identity and start fresh was pretty victorious."When asked about drummer Travis Barker's 2008 plane crash which killed four people and seriously injured the Blink 182 drummer and his DJing partner, Adam 'DJAM' Goldstein, Tom said: "If that accident hadn't happened, we wouldn't be a band. Plain and simple. That was fate!"
