Tom DeLonge Has Left Blink-182 'Indefinitely'

Blink-182 have anounced they will perform at the 18th Annual Musink Festival in Costa Mesa, CA on March 22nd but without guitarist Tom DeLonge.

According to a statement just released from the band, Tom doesn't "want to participate in any Blink-182 plans indefinitely."

“We were all set to play this festival and record a new album and Tom kept putting it off without reason. A week before we were scheduled to go in to the studio we got an email from his manager explaining that he didn’t want to participate in any Blink-182 projects indefinitely, but would rather work on his other non-musical endeavors.” 

Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus plan to honor all Blink-182 commitments including the Musink Festival and are excited to have singer/guitarist Matt Skiba join them for this project. “No hard feelings, but the show must go on for our fans.”
