Estranged Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge has asked the band’s Travis Barker if he’d like to go water sliding with him.

DeLonge split with the group in 2015, but last week reported he’d been talking to drummer Barker about their future.

And he’s now invited Barker to have some fun via Twitter– and the sticksman says he’d like to take him up on his offer.

DeLonge says: “Let’s go to Great Wolf Lodge in Orange County and do water slides together and post it for fans.”

Barker responds: “Haha, I’m in 100.”

DeLonge was replaced in Blink-182 by Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba. They’ll release their latest album California on July 1 and launched a video for their track Bored To Death last week.

Blink will head out on tour across North America next month.
