Blink-182’s public and acrimonious split from Tom DeLonge appears to be inching toward an amicable resolution as bassist-vocalist Mark Hoppus revealed in a new interview that the band have almost legally cut ties with the soon-to-be-ex-guitarist. Hoppus told Das Process “We are right now going through what so far has been a friendly divorce with our former guitarist.” While DeLonge abruptly and “indefinitely” left Blink-182 in late January after refusing to commit to recording a new album, he didn’t officially and permanently quit the band that he co-founded with Hoppus. The band recruited Alkaline Trio guitarist Matt Skiba to fill in for DeLonge at the band’s Musink festival set.
