Are you ready for “One More Time”… one more time? Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker sent fans’ heart racing over the weekend when he teased new music from the punk-pop trio in a post on X in which he promised that fresh tracks are almost ready to go.

After tweeting “Who’s ready for One More Time part 2” on July 22, Barker followed up on Sunday (August 18) with an update, writing, “One More Time Part 2 turned in mixed and mastered for you guys [present emoji].”


At press time it was unclear if Barker was referring to a full-length sequel to the band’s ninth studio album, last year’s One More Time…, which featured the singles “Edging,” “Dance With Me,” “Fell in Love” and the emotional title track acoustic ballad; a spokesperson for the band had not returned a request for comment at press time on whether Barker’s post was in reference to a full-length sequel album or a second part to the previous album’s title track.

One More Time… was the band’s first album marking the return of guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, who left Blink for a second time in 2015. Back in June, the trio debuted a previously unreleased song, “Can’t Go Back,” during the opening night of their current tour at the Kia Center in Orlando. The group, which also includes bassist/singer Mark Hoppus, will take the stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in England on, respectively, Friday (August 23) and Saturday (August 24), and play four other UK shows before returning to the U.S. for a run of September and October festivals gigs.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
