Katy Perry made a fortune with her tune “I Kissed a Girl” — and in his new book, Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir, Blink-182 rocker Mark Hoppus confesses he nearly smooched a guy.

The 53-year-old bass player, who’s been wed to cinematographer-turned-fashion designer Skye Everly since 2000, recalls that in 2004, he was thrilled when during the band’s Wembley Stadium concert, his hero — the Cure frontman Robert Smith — joined them onstage for a rendition of All of This.

“It was so surreal, such a rad moment,” he recalls. “I went to give him a hug and he leaned in and said, ‘Give me a kiss.’”

Hoppus, who beat cancer, now says, “I wish I had done it. It would’ve made such a better story than it almost happened.”
