Blink-182 fans are stressed. Early this evening, rumours started circulating on Twitter that everyone’s favourite angsty three-piece is now just a duo, as guitarist Tom DeLonge *apparently* quit.

The Hollywood Reporter published a statement alleged to have come from the band’s remaining members, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, which said Tom “didn’t want to participate in any Blink-182 projects indefinitely, but would rather work on his other non-musical endeavors.”

This statement remains unconfirmed by any official Blink-182 source.

But before you smash up your old Blink albums and sob your eyes out for the rest of the evening, get this: Tom might not have actually quit. PLOT TWIST.

Tom released his own statement on Instagram saying:

“To all the fans, I never quit the band. I actually was on a phone call about a blink 182 event for New York City at the time all these weird press releases started coming in… Apparently those releases were ‘sanctioned’ from the band. Are we dysfunctional- yes. But, Christ….. #Awkward #BabyBackRibs”

WHAT’S GOING ON?!

Whatever the outcome is, Blink fans are pretty torn up about the whole thing.

While others are just plain confused. Join the club.

If Tom has quit Blink-182 (sob), at least we’ll have these fantastic Valentine’s cards.
