Early this month, news broke out that Tom Delonge of Blink 182 fame is apparently quitting the group according to bandmates Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus. The guitarist and singer quickly reponded claiming otherwise, calling his bandmates press release "weird."
Hoppus and Barker shortly after went at it again by giving a tell-all interview with Rolling Stones, revealing that Delonge has, for the past years has been holding the group back by refusing to do certain shows and record material despite signing a contract that requires them to start with their new album.
The two parties took a few more stabs at each other after a few more weeks - in the end, it was established that Delonge was indeed out of the band, getting replaced by Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba for an upcoming show.
The latest news following the 39 year-old's departure from his long time group may be out of this world - literally. Delonge, as many know, is a true believer in extra terrestrial beings and according to him, had made contact with them just this past August. Today, he claims in an interview with Papermag that his life is in "danger" due to the knowledge he possesses.
"Years ago, there was somebody who was gathering 150 hours of top secret testimony specifically for Congressional hearings on governmental projects and the US secret space program. People from NASA, Rome, the Vatican, you name it, they're all on there. The top 36 hours that summarized the best parts of the footage. I had hidden it in my house for a period of time, during that time I was flying this pieron out along with somebody that was Wernher von Braun's right hand assistant," said Delonge.
He reveals that Werner von Braun was a Nazi scientist brought it to build the Apollo spaceship that went to the moon. Delonge claims that he is also in danger because of his knowlege about certain secret spacecrafts apparently being developed by the government.
"I started talking about the craft, and its magnetic slide system and how it displaces over 89% of the mass of the ship, how it ionizes the engine, how it glows -- I went through the whole thing, and this engineer looks at me, this guy is 70 years old, and he goes, "You better be real careful about what you're talking about."
