Tom DeLonge told 'Rolling Stone' he's still in Blink-182
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Tom DeLonge says he is currently a member of Blink-182.
According to the piece, DeLonge reached out “a few weeks” after the interview saying, “I am currently in the band,” and that he has never officially quit or been fired.

This comes after he commented on his current relationship with the band. “I love those guys,” he said. “The only thing I think about is, I want them to be happy. [But] I don't want the legacy of the band to get fucked with. I do care about that. I don't want an incredible legacy to be ruined.”
He then touched on a possible reunion with the band, “I'm not opposed to it. I still would be interested, if people would just pick up the phone and call.” You can read the excerpt in full below.

DeLonge and Blink-182 began their separation near the beginning of 2015. Yesterday, the band released their first song without him, and have announced a massive tour with A Day To Remember, All Time Low and the All-American Rejects.
“I love those guys,” he continues, “The only thing I think about is, I want them to be happy. [But] I don't want the legacy of the band to get fucked with. I do care about that. I don't want an incredible legacy to be ruined.” Still, he says, he's not closing the door on playing with them again. “I'm not opposed to it. I still would be interested, if people would just pick up the phone and call.” (Confusingly, DeLonge gets in touch with Rolling Stone a few weeks later saying, “I am currently in the band.” He maintains that he has never officially quit or been fired.)
