Travis Barker is "in no way, shape or form" mad at Tom DeLonge
In a recent interview with Yahoo!, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker claims that he is “in no way, shape or form” mad at Tom DeLonge, but rather simply wishes that “he would own up to not wanting to be in the band and go do his other stuff.”

Despite refraining from anger, Barker also touches on how difficult is was working with DeLonge: “That’s what it was like playing at practice with the dude forever. It was just like, you’d drive to Orange County to practice, drive an hour and a half to get there, dude’s upset, bummed-out or venting about something. We’re all, ‘Everyone’s got their issues, let’s just play music and have fun and be happy and kick ass.’ So it feels good to have that.”
He summed the whole situation up with relating it to his 2008 plane crash: “After my plane crash and everything, I made a promise to myself not to deal with bullsh*t. Life’s too short, man. We’re all healthy, we’re fortunate enough to play in a band that’s adored by millions, and if you’re going to take that for granted or sh*t on it, do your own thing.”
