Tom Delonge Explains Reason Behind Blink-182 Split

Blink-182's Tom Delonge has revealed the reason behind the band's split.

In a recent interview the guitarist explained that exhaustion and interference from outsiders led to the band's split in 2005.

"The reason the band broke up was really stupid in the first place, it's not like anybody had sex with each other's wives, though for how bad we hated each other that should have been what happened,'' Delonge told BBC Radio 1.

He added: ''The band got so big that the machine running the band took over. We were burnt out, we needed a break, but the machine won't let you do that. The band had stopped communicating because the machine was so big."

Speaking about their forthcoming album 'Neighborhoods, he said: ''The album's amazing. If you like our music, it's our best work by far."

"It's very modern, very relevant to rock music today, but we made sure to throw a couple of songs in there that sound like they're from the mid 90s. It's gigantic, it's made for big places."

Blink-182's new single 'Up All Night’ was released online Friday (July 15).
