Travis Barker says Blink-182 won't reunite, despite recent rumours to the contrary.

TMZ.com questioned Barker about a possible Blink-182 reunion while he was walking through a Calabasas, Calif. parking lot, and his response was negative.

"No," he said. "We're friends, though, everyone's getting along pretty good."

Barker's comment comes after former Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus wrote on his blog that he had hung out with Barker and singer/bassist Tom DeLonge. Barker and Hoppus remained friends after Blink-182 split up, and play in +44 together, but the two hadn't seen DeLonge for a few years.

"In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom, Travis and I have all spoken together," Hoppus wrote. "First, through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours.

"They've all been great, very positive conversations. We're just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. It's a good thing."

Barker and DJ AM are set to play their first gig together since the Sept. 19 plane crash that left them with second- and third-degree burns. The crash claimed the lives of everyone on board with the exception of Barker and DJ AM.

The duo will play a New Year's Eve party at West Hollywood's The Lot as TRVSDJAM. The show will reportedly be streamed on the internet.
