Rumours of a Blink 182 reunion are running wild across the punk-rock music circles of America. This latest twist in the tale to this break up will only add more fuel to the fire after a string of odd behaviour and cryptic messages from the trio.
At a recent Atticus clothing show Tom Delonge and his band Angels and Airwaves took to the stage for a short 3 song set, during the course of the set it was noticeable Delonge was acting distant and distracted from his new band mates. In return his band mates gave the lead singer frosty looks during the entire set, and there was no banter with the crowd at all during the show. This set was only supposed to be a 3 song set according to the show promoter, unexplainably after the 3 song set which was in all honesty was quite shabby, due to Delonge being the main focus of the band and his lazy attitude, Delonge unexplainably re took to the stage alone 5 minutes later.
This time Delonge was in different clothes to the black emo attire he previously wore, this was a different Delonge in a backwards baseball cap, 3 quarter length shorts and white Macbeth top, strikingly similar to the attire he wore during his Blink 182 days. On his return to the stage he no longer had his trademark Tom Delonge Gibson ES-333 in his hand but a plain white Fender, again one strikingly similar to the one he used in his previous Blink days. Nobody was aware of what Delonge was doing, least of all the promoter who was visibly trying to pull Delonge off the stage, however with no luck.
Delonge proceeded to silence the crowd then played a full rendition of the Blink 182 smash hit ‘Stay Together For The Kids’, a song previously sung in unison with former band member Mark Hoppus. However it was Delonge and Delonge alone with his guitar as stunned onlookers stood in disbelief to what was taking place. Delonge sang all his parts and played all his parts in those 3 minutes with more passion and drive than the whole 25 minute 3 song set he just performed with Angels and Airwaves put together.
However during the course of the song obviously he was alone without his former band mates, and when it came to the Hoppus verse of the song instead of covering it, he left it mysteriously silent with just his guitar playing. After his heartfelt rendition of the hit song finished he spoke softly into the microphone; ‘****ing stay together for the kids, i’m sorry.’.
One fan at the show stated; ‘It was like Tom was crying out for help, and for Mark and Travis to forgive him and join him!’.
Another fan said; ‘I’m a fan of Angels and Airwaves, I didn’t like Blink 182 much, but it looks pretty obvious Angels and Airwaves are over, it sucks how this was obviously just another Delonge side project [like box car racer]’.
Another onlooker said this; ‘it’s like Tom realised what he had done when he quit blink, it finally got through to him and he wants to go back, why else would he sing a blink song and dress like he did in blink?’.
If this was a shout out to his former band mates this throws both former Blink 182 members new groups futures, Angels and Airwaves and Plus +44, into complete uncertainty.
Was this indeed a cry to his former band mates or just a sign of yet another rock star losing their mind and spiralling out of control?

When I was
A young boy,
My father
Took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when
You grow up,
Would you be
The saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you
Defeat them,
Your demons,
And all the non believers,
The plans that they have made?
Because one day
I'll leave you,
A phantom
To lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."

When I was
A young boy,
My father
Took me into the city

Would you be
The saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
When through it all,
The rise and fall,
The bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know

We'll carry on,
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

A world that sends you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black
And take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end
We hear the call

To carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches



On and on we carry through the fears
(Oh oh ohhhh)
Disappointed faces of your peers
(Oh oh ohhhh)
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not care at all

Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
Go and try
You'll never break me
We want it all
We want to play this part

I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed,
I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer
For all the broken
Listen here,
Because it's who we are

I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
Just a boy
Who had to sing this song
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
I
Don't
Care

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on

(Gerard in background)
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on

(Everyone else)
Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
You can try
You'll never break me
We want it all
We want to play this part

Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
You can try
You'll never break me
We want it all
We want to play this part

And if your heart stops beating
I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life

And if you get to Heaven
I'll be here waiting babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait,
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand
It ain't exactly what you planned
And wouldn't it be great if
We were dead

Oh Dead

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life

And if you get to Heaven
I'll be here waiting babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait,
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand

To take a pistol by the hand
And wouldn't it be great if
We were dead

And in my honest observation
During this operation
Found a complication
In your heart, so long
'Cause now you've got
Maybe just two weeks to live
is that the most the both of you can give?!

(continue lalala)
Oh, yeah
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why am I dead?
