Mark Hoppus used to be only member of the band without tattoos.
Mark Hoppus was one of Tom DeLonge's groomsmen at his 2001 wedding.
Hoppus hopped into the next flight to the burn center,
while DeLonge reached out with a letter and a photograph.
Mark Hoppus' girlfriend was angry about how much time
he was spending with the band and made him choose between the band or her.
During the hiatus, Barker and Hoppus continued to make music,
forming the band +44, whose debut, When Your Heart Stops Beating, received mixed reviews.
Upon hearing of the crash, Hoppus immediately jumped on the next flight to the burn center
and DeLonge quickly reached out with a letter and a photograph.
Once, while trying to impress Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus fell from a lamppost and cracked his ankles,
an injury that put him in crutches for three weeks.
Instead of hiring another drummer,
DeLonge used Travis Barker for the album which Mark Hoppus viewed as a betrayal and led to even more divisiveness within the band.
