“Stay Together For The Kids!”—Twitter reacts to a Blink-182 without Tom Delonge
Earlier today, news broke that Blink-182 vocalist/guitarist Tom Delonge would not be working with the band “indefinitely.” That’s not the only think that broke, however. Since, we’ve witnessed both hearts and sanity cracking through our various social channels.
While some people battled the news with humor, others were just angry, confused and upset. Below are some of the initial reactions fans had to the news.
And, of course, bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus offered his own reassurance:
blink-182 life. For life.

Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker called Tom DeLonge “ungrateful,” “disingenuous” in tell-all interview
Exasperation (Again?!):

In 2005, Tom Delonge quit blink-182. One underwhelming album and ep later, he did it again. Classy.
