Blink-182 ’s Mark Hoppus says they’ll soon be recording an exclusive live performance for iTunes.

"Early next week I go back to Los Angeles to record an iTunes Session for Blink-182,” the bassist tells NME .  Hoppus adds that while the band is “starting to write” the follow-up to 2011's Neighborhoods , fans shouldn’t expect the forthcoming album to hit stores for a while. "We're going to tour Australia in February with Blink...[so the] proper tour and the new album probably won't happen for about a year," he explains.
