Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge recently spoke about his health issues.
Tom DeLonge recovering from illness
DeLonge recently spoke between a couple of tracks at a Blink-182 show about battling a nasty bug which led to two shows being canceled last week. He hasn’t recovered quite yet but he was still able to put on a show with a 24-track setlist, powering through the show. Fans revealed that Tom was constantly blowing his nose and spraying his throat with numbing spray.
The band had previously canceled their concerts in Kansas City and St. Louis “due to illness.” They announced the news on social media, writing:
“Unfortunately, due to illness we are unable to make it to Kansas City and St. Louis,” the band wrote on X, confirming that refunds would be issued automatically to ticket holders who purchased through Ticketmaster. “We are so sorry and hope to see you next time,” the band added.
They didn’t mention which band member was ill but it was none other than Tom DeLonge, who struggled during a show. DeLonge also confirmed it. he took to his Facebook account and posted a picture. In the caption, he made it clear that he fell sick, but he is recovering. He wrote:
“I am bathing my sickness in bleach… I am so sorry about the cancellation of shows but boy did I get sick. Coming out of it now, looking forward to continue the adventure. @blink182”
During a recent concert in Milwaukee, he couldn’t play One More Time (OMT). It happened after the band played ‘Dammit’ and they even decided to nix a song from the setlist.
Blink-182 will be headlining Reading & Leeds festival in the U.K and recently they have even uploaded clips of four new songs from the One More Time deluxe edition which fans are excited about.
