According to Property of Zack Tom Delonge has quit Blink 182. You can read a supposed statement below:
“Matt Skiba of the Alkaline Trio will join Blink-182 in replacement of Tom DeLonge at the 8th annual Music and Tattoo festival. “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 endeavours.” 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.” Additionally, Skiba will continue to make new music and tour with the Alkaline Trio.”
Official sources are yet to comment.
This is the second year Travis Barker will curate the bands at Musink. The 3-day fest takes place March 20 to 22 at the OC Fair & Events Center in Costa Mesa, Calif with tickets going on sale this Friday at 10:00am(PST).
